Summary
Carlos Drew d'Avis is an adaptable engineering manager with 16 years of experience who turns high-level strategy into focused engineering outcomes while prioritizing curiosity, empathy, and trust. He led Luum from a 10-person startup through rapid growth and acquisition by a public company, hiring and mentoring dozens while launching enterprise-grade commute management solutions used by Fortune 100 customers. Comfortable shifting between hands-on execution and organizational design, he has repeatedly closed urgent customer backlogs, improved team productivity, and instituted engineering standards and cross-functional working agreements. Now at ActBlue, he continues to scale teams and processes, bringing a strong bias for measurable business impact. He deliberately hires for inclusion and builds teams with both camaraderie and accountability, and he seeks opportunities to learn new tech stacks or enter new market sectors. A former technical founder and long-time systems administrator, he blends startup grit with experience operating inside larger enterprises.
