Robert Endo | The President

Robert Endo is passionate about all things technology. A Chicago native who grew up in the Rogers Park neighborhood, Rob enthusiastically jumped into Chicago’s tech community without hesitation. In high school he was networking buildings and building eCommerce platforms for fun. In 2003 he co-founded BridgeNet Solutions, a global logistics company for supply chain management and served as CIO from 2003-2014. During this time, he created and implemented analytics strategies and tactics that saved $100MM+ for clients.

Rob is also the owner and Engagement Manager of Intrepid Data, a business technology consulting LLC that builds platforms for business applications. Rob focuses on creating solutions that result in clients having a competitive advantage and lower barrier to entry. Key services include software and enterprise architecture, application development, IT strategy, digital solutions, and data management.

Speaking about technology is great fun for Rob. In the past he has been a speaker for events including the National Association of Broadcasters, IoT Expo, and tech conferences in Chicago. He spends his spare time volunteering at his church, and is on the advisory board for Lotus Chicago, a nonprofit group who aims to supplement education for students in marginalized communities.
