Meet the Team

Garland Fox was founded by two longtime friends who came from opposite sides of the table — but shared a common goal: solving complex problems through a deeper understanding of users, workflows, and productivity.

Steve Thomsen built his career in the vendor space, working with innovative Israeli startups to bring cutting-edge solutions to market. Todd Thomas served as a technology leader within the healthcare provider sector, holding C-suite and VP-level roles where he faced the challenges healthcare organizations deal with every day.

Their paths crossed in exactly that dynamic — vendor and client — and what started as a professional engagement grew into a lasting friendship. Along the way, they worked through some of the industry's toughest problems by focusing on what actually mattered: user experience, operational efficiency, and real-world outcomes.

At Garland Fox, we believe the best partners don't just understand IT — they understand your business. Too often, vendors focus narrowly on their own technology stack, with little appreciation for what you're actually dealing with: cross-functional workflows, end-user adoption, regulatory pressure, and cost constraints.

We're different. We combine technical depth with an understanding of what it's actually like to run the business side — because one of us has done it. Whatever the project — modernizing infrastructure, strengthening cybersecurity, rolling out AI safely, or driving broader digital transformation — we start with the same question: does this actually make the business run better?


What will make your business run smarter, safer, and stronger—today and tomorrow?
