About Us

As CEO and Founder of CampusIQ, Aaron leads the company’s vision to transform how colleges and universities understand and optimize their physical spaces. A mathematician and data scientist by training, he’s spent his career building—from mobile apps and large-scale analytics platforms to teams solving tough problems in higher ed.

Aaron began his career at Accenture, developing enterprise data systems for Fortune 100 clients. He later founded Degree Analytics (now CampusIQ) to help campuses act on space data in meaningful ways. He holds a patent in location-based monitoring systems and has contributed to peer-reviewed research in big data analytics.

A former Academic All-American lacrosse goalie at Eastern University, Aaron now mentors student-athletes and continues coaching the sport. Outside work, he’s usually building something—tools, teams, or training dogs.

As Vice President of Client Success at CampusIQ, Ann leads onboarding and ongoing customer success programs to help colleges and universities get the most out of their space intelligence platforms. With over 30 years in ed tech, she brings a unique breadth of experience, having served in leadership roles across Client Success, Product Development, Sales Operations, Strategic Account Sales, and Professional Development. This cross-functional background gives her a holistic view of institutional needs and enables her to create seamless experiences that connect product value with client outcomes.

Ann earned her BS in Math Education from Oklahoma State University (Go Pokes!). Outside of work, she enjoys tackling carpentry projects, tending chickens, spoiling her wonderful grandchildren and her rescued Great Danes.

As CampusIQ’s Senior Director of Insights & Strategy, Alyson is helping colleges and universities unlock the full potential of their campuses through data-informed decision making. With 20 years in higher education—including time spent working inside an institution—she brings a unique perspective and a deep understanding of the challenges campus leaders face. This shared experience allows her to bridge analytics and strategy in a way that resonates with institutional needs, helping leaders optimize space and resources. Alyson’s expertise spans space utilization analysis, operational assessments, and building frameworks that guide smarter planning for the future. Her mantra: not all solutions are physical—true optimization considers how people and processes work together.

A proud three-time alumna of the University of South Carolina, Alyson holds a BA in English, an MPA, and a Master’s in Higher Education Business Administration. Outside work, you’ll find her with her parents, sister, and all the family dogs—including two of her own—or raising funds for a local animal shelter.

He excels at creating high-performing hybrid teams that bridge geographical divides while pioneering AI integration into engineering workflows.

Chad holds a BS in Computer Science from Vanderbilt University. As a parent with kids in and out of college, he understands firsthand the importance of great campus technology. Outside work, he's 3D printing something cool, battling through Destiny raids, or experimenting with the latest AI tools.
