About Andy Hoyt
Andy Hoyt is Chief Technology Officer at IMS Legal Strategies. Location: Atlanta, Georgia, United States.
Most enterprise technology organizations are sitting on unrealized potential, buried under legacy systems, slow release cycles, and engineering cultures that mistake activity for progress. My career has been built on changing that equation. Across legal tech, retail software, and developer platforms, I have led global engineering organizations through the kind of transformation that moves the business needle, not just the architecture diagram. From modernizing billion-dollar SaaS portfolios to embedding generative AI into the core of how engineering teams work, I translate technical complexity into competitive advantage. Whether directing cloud migrations, leading M&A technical due diligence, or advising boards on long-horizon technology investment, I focus on strategies that are scalable, defensible, and built for what comes next. Career Highlights: • Drove a 35% improvement in feature delivery speed by architecting a company-wide AI integration strategy leveraging AWS Bedrock, GitHub Copilot, and Claude. • Achieved 40% infrastructure cost savings through strategic migration of legacy on-premises applications to high-availability cloud architectures. • Maintained 99.99% uptime across mission-critical enterprise SaaS portfolios at both Aderant and NCR, supporting clients across dozens of countries. • Completed four acquisitions across two organizations, leading end-to-end technical due diligence and post-merger product integration. These milestones reflect my strong dedication to aligning engineering execution with strategic business priorities, from early-stage evaluation through full-scale integration and growth. What I Bring to the Table: • Deep expertise in AI-powered engineering transformation, cloud modernization, and SRE best practices. • Leadership background across both enterprise software and high-growth SaaS environments, domestically and globally. • Executive fluency in board-level technology communication, M&A evaluation, and cross-functional decision-making. • Consistent success building high-performance engineering cultures that sustain innovation without sacrificing reliability. The technology may power the platform, but it is the execution of strategy that determines who wins. If you are rethinking how AI, cloud, or organizational design can unlock your next phase of growth, I welcome the conversation.
