BRIAN W. LOOMIS
FOUNDER & CHIEF AI OFFICER

Brian combines over 20 years of software technology consulting and executive leadership to help organizations translate boardroom objectives into world-class digital products and services. An alum of Microsoft—where he experienced the historic .NET and Azure platform launches from the ground up—Brian has served as a CTO, VP of Development, and Director of Architecture (currently at Progress), guiding engineering teams through complex technical evolutions.

​

As the founder of Princeton Digital Advisors, Brian partners directly with executive teams to deliver specialized expertise across three core pillars:

​

• Fractional CTO Services: Providing strategic technical leadership, architectural oversight, and roadmap alignment for companies that need executive-level guidance without a full-time hire.

​

• AI-Driven Product & Development Process Transformation: Accelerating the software lifecycle by integrating modern artificial intelligence capabilities into product roadmaps, model evaluation, and engineering workflows to maximize customer value and team velocity.

​

• Cloud-Native Software Architecture Guidance: Designing and scaling robust, pattern-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) architectures across major public clouds to ensure long-term resilience, security, and performance.

​

An active international public speaker and prolific writer within the architecture and agile communities, Brian frequently shares insights on modern software patterns, cloud scalability, and pragmatic tech leadership.

​

Brian holds a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University, alongside advanced degrees in business and computer science, and formerly served as an officer in the United States Air Force. When he isn't architecting software solutions—or looking for ways to blend them with his passion for Peloton and AI—he is a supportive dad to two young adults thriving in college and cheering on his spouse on her global fabric journey. Home base for him and his family is East Lansing, Michigan.
