Our Team
Doug has decades of experience transforming Fortune 500 legacy companies into modern Internet-based, high-functioning enterprises. He is an expert in the use of technology in today's business enterprises, change management, and business process re-engineering.
Doug graduated from Central Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, specializing in marketing and management. He immediately went to systems engineering school in Dallas, Texas where he became a software systems engineer.
After decades of developing complex customized enterprise software applications, he led a team of technicians who designed a leading-edge software application to manage logistics within the healthcare industry. This product is still used today in many world-renowned institutions.
Next, Doug spent six years with KPMG Consulting where he managed large-scale technology projects for Fortune 500 clients. Some of his major accomplishments during this period include establishing a program management office at one of the country's largest health insurance companies. He also played a key role implementing a worldwide technology command information center at one of the largest brokerage houses.
When KPMG Consulting went public, Doug was assigned the responsibility of managing the KPMG/Cisco alliance in the 15 states that consisted of Cisco's Midwest Region. During this period, he was tasked with working with the sales force to leverage six internet-based enterprise software solutions co-branded by KPMG and Cisco.
Doug's next challenge began when he was hired to turn around a small financial services firm in Northern California. Although new to the financial services industry, this was still a technology firm loaded with talent. During his first 90 days, the newly reorganized management group had increased profitability by 35% because of streamlining operational processes and leveraging assets across the various entities. The new highly-focused operating committee took only three years to meet the goals established in the Board's five-year strategic plan. This led to a very successful exit strategy in two separate transactions with some of the country's largest title companies.
Doug has spent the last 14 months building the team that has designed, developed, and is now ready to launch an entrepreneurial endeavor designed to improve patient outcomes in today's complex healthcare environment. It is also aimed at increasing the productivity, efficiency, and utilization of the highly-skilled, critical-care nursing assets that are at the center of successful patient outcomes.
Liz began her career in 1999 after graduating from Norquest College in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. She worked as a licensed Practical Nurse in the area of acute care cardiology for adults.
In 2010, Liz restarted her journey in nursing after a five-year hiatus, this time with a goal to become a Registered Nurse. That goal was realized in May, 2013 when she graduated with her Associate of Science in Nursing degree through a combined educational program from Utah State University and Provo College.
Since graduation, Liz has made it her specialty to be a float nurse and focus on adult medical surgical ICUs and specialty ICUs. She has spent the last four years perfecting the art of "floating" between units while operating as a valued team member of each unit and providing consistent quality care to patients in an ICU setting.
Life accomplishments: 2 adult children, 3rd country of residence, avid snowboarder, outstanding student of graduating class, full time ICU nurse, full-time parent, military wife, former service member who is also a full time patient with Fibromyalgia and Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disorder. "I make the choice daily, to put my patients ahead of my own physical discomfort, so I can make a difference in their lives however minor it may be. I am sure I get more out of caring for my patients than they do from me caring for them."

Greg started his career out of Phoenix as a staff accountant for public accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. He advanced in his career by moving to Tucson and Las Vegas where he eventually was promoted to senior manager. After over 10 years with the firm he turned in his 10-key and pocket protector for a change of scenery.
The next step in Greg's progression was that of internal audit at a publicly-traded company in Vegas. It was here that he turned around the internal audit department from a necessary evil to a trusted business advisor and well-oiled machine.
After 16 plus years as an auditor, Greg made a bold move to make a go of it on his own as a business consultant. Greg has a belief that every business owner started with a vision and a passion for "something." Greg is a financial specialist that can help empower others to spend time on what's most important to them.

His 17 years of manufacturing and operations experience includes quality control, department development and operations, plant manager for a multi-million-dollar company, and directing operations for a state charter school, which brings a varied and invaluable skill set and know-how to IVLO.

Ron caught the eye of the owner and CEO of Nature’s Bakery in 2013, who head-hunted Ron to use his business sense and operations expertise to bring the already-successful four-million-dollar-a-year commercial bakery to new heights. In a single year Ron was instrumental in taking Nature’s Bakery from four million dollars in sales to twenty-four million dollars in that year. Ron retired in 2014 and moved with his family to Las Vegas. A year later he joined a start-up charter school as their Director of Operations, where he oversaw not only the closing of the temporary campus but also the construction of the new permanent facility.
