We are a group of product-minded builders, strategists, and storytellers with deep experience across technology, design, and growth.
Seen individually, we are your CTOs, CPOs, CDOs. Taken together, we’ve brought ideas to life, shaped product visions, and built solutions for companies of all sizes—from early-stage startups to global Fortune 500s. Along the way, we’ve learned how to navigate complexity, bring clarity to chaos, and create products that truly connect with the people they’re built for.
At our core, we believe in thoughtful collaboration, purposeful design, and delighting users and customers.
NICOle bryan
FOUNDER OF METIS
Nicole has built products for companies ranging from scrappy startups to Fortune 500 giants. She began her career as a software developer at Accenture - developing for clients such as Raytheon, Cadence Design Systems and Netscape, and cut her teeth in the startup world developing one of the first SaaS-based financial advisory tools in the ’90s.
She moved into product management at the New York Stock Exchange, where she introduced its first agile development teams.
To drive broader impact, Nicole shifted to the vendor side, spending 15 years at Borland Software (acquired by MicroFocus) and Tasktop Technologies (acquired by Planview) building software delivery tools used by enterprises like BMW, Ford, Citigroup, and Nationwide.
As Chief Product Officer at Tasktop, she helped establish the Value Stream Management category, with the product consistently named a leader by analysts including Forrester.
In 2023, eager to explore a new domain and return to her startup roots, Nicole co-founded a legal infrastructure company focused on blockchain and intellectual property.
She lives in Austin, TX with her husband and is thrilled (albeit also a little sad) to be an empty nester.
