The name

Deo, spelled out.

Our last name is Deo. Spelled in the international phonetic alphabet, the one used on radios around the world so nothing gets lost in translation, it becomes Delta Echo Oscar. Each letter also stands for how we work.

D · DeltaWe start things.

In math, delta means change. We find what's missing, build it from zero, and get it moving.

E · EchoWe make it heard.

Between us, two decades of launching products and producing events for global brands. Positioning, story and experience are in our bones.

O · OscarWe run it well.

Operating is where ventures are won. We keep budgets honest, timelines tight and partners glad they signed on.

    His career started in aviation and global logistics, where he led digital innovation and 0-to-1 product development before moving into cybersecurity. He serves on the board of an Illinois nonprofit that helps young people from foster care earn college degrees, and graduated magna cum laude from the University of Colorado.
