Chris Turlica is the CEO and Co-Founder of MaintainX, a San Francisco-based industrial operations platform that has raised $254M and reached a $2.5B valuation. A McGill commerce graduate who previously built and sold a consumer messaging startup, Turlica spotted a striking data point while at Deutsche Telekom Capital Partners — 80% of the global workforce is deskless, yet only 1% of enterprise software spend serves them. That insight became MaintainX, which now helps over 11,000 companies manage 11M+ assets and has transformed maintenance teams at companies including ABInBev, Duracell, Marriott, and McDonald's.
Nick Haase is co-founder of MaintainX, the AI-powered CMMS and connected worker platform that reached a $2.5B valuation after its $150M Series D in July 2025. Leading go-to-market strategy, Haase has helped grow MaintainX to 11,000+ enterprise customers across manufacturing, food & beverage, and facilities — while separately angel-investing in 40+ startups including Anduril, Hadrian, and Figure. A former mobile marketing founder turned industrial software builder, he's spent years on factory floors helping maintenance teams ditch paper checklists and embrace digital workflows.
