About Brian Garofola

Brian Garofola is Chief Technology Officer at Vibes. Location: Greater Chicago Area, United States.

I lead Product & Technology at Vibes — Engineering, Product, Data & Analytics, Cloud, IT, and Security — at a moment when mobile messaging is going through its biggest transformation in two decades. RCS is rewriting what brands can do on the device that never leaves your pocket. AI is changing how fast teams build and how intelligently platforms personalize. I'm building the organization and the platform to take advantage of both. My career has been at the intersection of infrastructure and impact — architecting systems at carrier scale, direct connections with AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, and turning mobile into a revenue channel that consistently outperforms everything else brands try. If you're thinking about RCS, AI-powered messaging, or what it takes to build a Tier-1 messaging platform — let's talk.
