William Torson

Chief Technology Officer

Bill Torson is a technologist, successful startup co-founder, and Air Force pilot with more than 20 years of deep expertise in the design and integration of complex systems. For the first half of his defense career, Bill traveled the world with an RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft and a large crew; amassing 1080 combat hours, thousands of total flight hours, and a lot of great stories. He gained a love for the non-kinetic (not bombs and bullets) forms of warfare that include disciplines like space, cyber, electronic warfare, and information ops. He spent the second half of his defense career designing tactics and command and control systems around the integration of these non-kinetic disciplines in modern warfare and deterrence. Closing out his full-time federal service, Bill had the privilege of serving as the Warfighting Architect and Lead Joint/Agency Integrator at the USAF’s Kessel Run Experimentation Lab where he was responsible for defining and delivering on a cohesive vision and architecture for Kessel Run’s critical warfighting applications, hardware, and worldwide infrastructure.

After departing full-time federal service, Bill served as the Chief Technology Officer at Scott Data Center, a Tier III rated facility in Omaha, NE. Originally built for the Department of Defense, the Scott facility was uniquely powered, cooled, and positioned to deliver early value in the evolution of Generative Artificial Intelligence. In his time at Scott, Bill and the team were able to design and deploy four distinct generations of AI infrastructure and compute in less than 18 months and develop a Concrete-to-Cloud offering for enterprise AI users. Bill is a startup founder and advisor, board member, and lifelong disappointed Nebraska Cornhusker fan.
