Wave Welcome’s main focus is Conscious Capitalism, which means being a responsible business entity and serving all stakeholders by turning a profit while also positively impacting social, human, and natural capital. As the CEO, Mr. Wright leverages emerging technology to solve real-world challenges and plays a pivotal role in brainstorming sessions to ensure the company’s processes are efficient. Likewise, he helps companies stand out in their industries and succeed in the market by overseeing a wide range of ongoing technology projects while regularly communicating with customers to ensure they are satisfied.
Over the years, Mr. Wright has gained valuable expertise at the executive level with Iron Bow Technologies, WSSC Water, Prince George’s County, Salient CRGT, Hillary Clinton, and Integration Technologies Group. During the early stages of his career, he honed his technological expertise in various roles with Electronic Data Systems, Digex-Worldcom, and the Academy for Educational Development.
An expert in his field, Mr. Wright holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Maryland, College Park.
