Aaron Zwas

Strategic Technology Specialist and Author

Aaron has over twenty years’ experience in move-the-needle scenarios related to equity events, new ownership, and strategic resets. He develops enterprise technology strategies that enable businesses to scale, mature, and evolve — and then leads the initiatives that transform strategic vision into sustainable reality.

Aaron is known for creating strong stakeholder alignment and buy-in through clear definition of objectives and success metrics — and for defining projects that are actionable and measurable against those goals. He is a passionate believer in a “teach to fish” approach that delivers value well beyond “the project” for technology and business teams.

A natural teacher, Aaron is the lead designer and instructor of The Bistro Collaboration Framework. Bistro is a comprehensive methodology that drives the definition and deployment of strategic IT solutions in a highly collaborative, cost-effective, and risk-aware manner. The framework has been used to define dozens of strategic technology roadmaps and run hundreds of successful technology-related initiatives. Training events are appropriate for all levels of business, technology, and vendor teams, and they have been attended by hundreds of professionals from over 50 companies and 15 countries.

Aaron also has long-running experience in collaborating with specialists across many fields to transform their experiences and skills into structured approaches that elevate the quality and marketability of their craft.
