The engineers you meet are the engineers who do the work.

Cuong Tran is the Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and President of Ngenium, where he leads the company's vision, strategy, and delivery of next-generation AI infrastructure, cloud, and data center solutions. With more than 30 years of experience in enterprise technology, Cuong has built a reputation for helping organizations design, deploy, and operate mission-critical infrastructure that powers modern AI and digital transformation initiatives.

Before co-founding Ngenium, Cuong served as CEO of Lumos, where he grew the company into one of Cisco's premier Data Center Specialized Integrator (DSI) and MINT partners. Under his leadership, Lumos became recognized for delivering complex data center, networking, and infrastructure solutions before ultimately being acquired.

Cuong holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Jonathan Matias is the Co-Founder, Global Partnerships & Alliances at Ngenium. With more than 25 years of experience in the technology space, Jonathan leads the company's global partnership and alliance strategy, working closely with OEM technology providers, channel partners, IT consulting firms, and customers to accelerate business growth and deliver innovative solutions.

Prior to co-founding Ngenium, Jonathan spent 16 years at Cisco Systems, where he held leadership roles focused on global partnerships, business development, go-to-market strategy, and operations. Throughout his career, he has built strategic relationships across networking, cybersecurity, cloud, data center, AI infrastructure, and observability, helping organizations develop scalable partnerships that deliver measurable business outcomes.

Jonathan holds a Master of Business Administration from Babson College and brings a unique combination of technology expertise, partner ecosystem leadership, and business strategy to help organizations accelerate innovation and growth.

Shawn Boyd is a lifelong entrepreneur and IT leader with 25+ years of experience building, scaling, and exiting technology businesses — now focused on helping organizations turn AI ambition into production reality.

He founded ARP Technologies in 1995 and grew it into one of Canada's largest Cisco Learning Partners, delivering consulting, training, and curriculum development globally. Along the way he became a published Cisco Press author and served as Senior Technical Editor across multiple industry publications.

In 2016 he exited ARP through a merger with EnterOne, then spent nine years scaling the business globally as VP of Canada and later CIO — growing APJC professional services revenue 3x in under two years and overseeing Ottawa data center operations. The company was later acquired by Trainocate, where he supported the transition.

At Ngenium, Shawn focuses on one thing: execution. Most organizations struggle to move AI from idea to production, held back by infrastructure complexity, security concerns, and skills gaps. He leads the end-to-end AI enablement practice that bridges that gap — from strategy and architecture through secure, scalable deployment.
