Technology advisory · Enterprise & private capital
Technology decisions,
translated into outcomes.
Zipoc is an independent advisory firm for enterprises and the investors who back them. We sit between the boardroom and the architecture: shaping strategy, de-risking the technology, and delivering the modernization and AI programs that move the numbers.
What we do
Senior advisory across the technology value chain
We engage directly with executives, boards, and deal sponsors, the senior person is the one doing the work. Every engagement is principal-led and, when it needs more hands, staffed from a vetted network of senior operators who have carried the P&L and shipped the systems.
Fractional & interim CTO
Executive technology leadership without a full-time hire. We set strategy, build and steady the engineering organization, and act as the credible technical voice to your board, customers, and partners.
Enterprise AI
From strategy to production. We identify where AI creates real economics and stand up platforms that are secure and governed by design, then deliver agentic and copilot programs that reach production, not pilots that stall in the lab.
Legacy modernization
Mainframe, monolith, and datacenter estates carried into the cloud and modern data platforms, on zero-trust foundations. We pair automated, AI-assisted migration with disciplined governance to cut risk, cost, and time.
M&A and technical due diligence
Advisory for PE, VC, and fund investors across the deal lifecycle. We run technical and cybersecurity due diligence, quantify risk and upside, and lead post-close value creation, from 100-day plans to full operational turnarounds.
Track record
The scale behind the advice
The track record behind Zipoc: decades of enterprise technology leadership at the world's largest IT services firms, alongside hands-on advisory to private-capital investors. Representative results from that experience:
How we work
Experience multiplied by modern tooling
The old model priced advisory by headcount: a few senior names, then rooms of junior and offshore staff to do the work. Modern engineering and AI-assisted tooling have collapsed that. A senior operator with the right tooling can now analyze, build, and migrate at a scale that used to demand large teams. When a mandate needs more senior depth, we bring in operators from our network; when a program needs to be built at scale, we assemble and direct vetted delivery partners to execute under our architecture and oversight. You get implementation capacity without losing senior accountability, and without hiring a large firm or standing up an internal team.
Understand the stakes
We start with the decision in front of you, whether that is an investment thesis, a deal, or a modernization, and the outcome it has to produce. Fast, candid, no boilerplate.
Design the path
We assess the technology, risk, security, and economics, then set a clear plan, whether that is a strategy, a diligence verdict, or an execution roadmap your team can trust.
Own the result
Senior hands stay on through delivery, amplified by automation and AI tooling that does the heavy lifting. We hold ourselves to the outcome, not the deliverable.
Private capital
A technical partner across the deal lifecycle
We work with private-equity, venture, and fund investors from first look to exit, translating technology and cybersecurity into the language of the thesis, the model, and the return.
Diligence that fits your clock
A red-flag read in days, or a full technical and cybersecurity due diligence in two to three weeks, sequenced around exclusivity and delivered alongside your QoE and legal workstreams. Every finding ties back to the thesis: what is real, what it costs to fix, and what it does to the model.
From 100-day plan to turnaround
We have carried a PE-owned European energy-software platform through acquisition and two divestitures to streamline it, and advised on acquisitions from signing through close and into the first months of operations.
Ready for the next buyer
Vendor (sell-side) technical due diligence and a technology equity story that stands up to scrutiny, so the next buyer's diligence finds what you already know and your multiple holds.
NDA-first and principal-led, held in strict confidence and staffed to move at deal speed, with no offshore rooms and no junior hand-offs. Our independence is the point: we are paid for the truth, not the transaction, with no integration work to upsell.
Who we serve
Enterprises and the capital behind them
We advise C-suites and boards at large enterprises, and the private-equity, venture, and fund investors who need a technical partner they can trust through diligence and value creation.
Leadership
Founded and led by a proven operator
Zipoc is principal-led by an executive who has run multibillion-dollar technology organizations and serves on a public-company board, and draws on a vetted network of senior operators when an engagement calls for more hands.
Tuomo Louhivuori
A client-facing technology executive who converts enterprise technology into business outcomes, pairing deep technical and cybersecurity expertise with commercial ownership. Tuomo has led technology, presales, and go-to-market organizations at the world's largest IT services firms, shaping and closing billions in complex deals annually. A CISSP, he currently serves on the board of a publicly traded cybersecurity company and has advised PE-owned software firms through modernization and value creation. He founded Zipoc in 2016 to bring that same senior, outcome-first perspective directly to enterprises and investors, advising alongside his executive roles and now leading the firm full-time.
Confidentiality & security
Every engagement is NDA-first and principal-led, held in strict confidence. Security is a core discipline: the practice is CISSP-led, with board-level cybersecurity governance experience.
