Josh Weiss, an IT expert and business leader with specialties in cybersecurity, digital transformation, and automation, is president of LA Creative Technologies.
His first tech job was as an 8-year-old, helping to promote a local children's software store. The three-plus decades since then have included running his own online bulletin board in the early 90s, selling books and records online in the early aughts, five years running tech for radio stations, building computer labs in rural Guatemalan towns, and 20 years performing as a DJ and producing music events.
This varied experience led him to launch LA Creative Technologies in 2009, leveraging his nerdy skills to help people get things done. Josh’s love of technology and fixing things has evolved over the years into a passion for delivering IT solutions that empower artists, creators, and startup entrepreneurs to overcome obstacles that accompany business growth.
Josh enjoys studying clients’ businesses, discovering their unique needs and then developing tailored solutions that enable them to grow. He creates tools and services to increase productivity, increase revenues, and improve efficiency.
Preferring to eschew buzzy, jargony consultant speak, Josh provides technology and project management expertise through a human-centered approach that includes meaningful, productive conversations and collaboration.
Josh loves downtempo + afro-latin electronic music, time in nature, and exploration (whether local or afar). He's a history buff and loves to learn about his environment from perspectives of urban design and social justice. Personal development is a constant priority of Josh’s as he seeks to heal from his past and create positive habits as he grows.
He co-founded a music/arts collective called Subsuelo (http://subsuelo.org) and DJ as Gozar (https://soundcloud.com/djgozarla).
