With nearly three decades of experience, Tom Reid has built a name for himself as both a technology visionary and a hands-on leader. Tom founded the Reid Consulting Group LLC in 2006, quickly positioning the company as an invaluable resource for C-level executives and public policymakers.

Reid’s combination of technical depth, insightfulness and confidence delivers essential leadership to complex, multi-year projects. Tom leverages his communication skills and his ability to translate the abstract to the concrete to coalesce diverse groups of executives, policymakers and technical experts into a team in pursuit of a common cause.

These qualities have earned Reid the role of “go-to” technology leader for statewide and regional projects. In Ohio, Tom has been repeatedly tapped to direct innovative technology projects for the Governor’s Office and the Ohio Board of Regents.

Earlier in his career, Tom built an entrepreneurial technology services organization within a major university that grew to a staff of 75 with a budget of $9.8 million. His department was responsible for all aspects of the six-campus, 28,000-student university’s telephone and data networks, e-mail services, single sign-on, access control systems, desktop management, and classroom technology.

Tom earned his bachelor’s degree from The Ohio State University’s Honors College and his master’s in telecommunications and computer science from Ohio University’s Scripps College of Communication. For nearly two decades, Reid also taught senior capstone classes in project management and network design at Ohio University in both the College of Business and the Scripps College of Communication.
