About Dani Tumbusch

Dani Tumbusch is Chief Technology Officer at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Location: Austin, Texas, United States.

Playfully serious about technology and the humans behind it. I'm a product-minded technology executive with two decades of experience leading engineering teams, driving enterprise transformation, and navigating complex organizational change. At Alamo Drafthouse, I serve as CTO, where I've led a full-stack modernization effort - rebuilding our guest experience, replacing legacy POS systems, implementing observability and AI platforms, and steering post-acquisition integration with Sony Pictures. But the real work? It's building high-trust teams that deliver. Translating vision into operating plans. Protecting culture while scaling systems. And solving the messy, cross-functional problems that live between job descriptions, like digital risk, compliance, AI governance, and long-range experience strategy. I thrive in the in-between: between product and platform, strategy and delivery, autonomy and alignment. Whether the role says CTO, CPO, or CIO, I bring structure, momentum, and a whole lot of care to whatever's next
