About
Built by people who've worked the floor
CivOps was founded by manufacturing operators, engineers, and technology executives who spent decades inside industrial organizations before building software for them. We know what a real shift looks like — and what makes operators trust a system or ignore it.
Patrick Gaughan
Co-Founder & Platform Lead
Pat brings 25+ years of manufacturing operations experience, having built and scaled operations across discrete, process, and batch environments. He designed the CivOps Platform architecture from the ground up with a single principle: if an operator won't use it on day one, it doesn't ship.
Ryan Cahalane
Co-Founder & Technology
Ryan has spent his career at the intersection of industrial operations and enterprise technology — from GE and Rockwell to OSIsoft and Axiom Manufacturing Systems. He leads the AI, data infrastructure, and integration architecture at CivOps.
Hans
Co-Founder & Operations
Hans brings deep domain expertise in manufacturing operations and organizational change, with experience guiding mid-market manufacturers through operational transformation across multiple industries and site footprints.
CivOps LLC
We're based in Northeast Ohio — the heart of American manufacturing. We work directly with mid-market manufacturers to deploy CivOps, with hands-on support through initial configuration and go-live. No partner channel, no offshore implementation team.
