About Nexurion
Technology companies face critical moments that require experienced leadership. We provide operators who have spent their careers building and leading technology organizations, now dedicated to helping others navigate their most challenging transitions.
Why Nexurion exists
Technology companies at critical junctures face a difficult choice. They can struggle through leadership transitions, execution crises, or scaling challenges internally—often without the specialized experience these situations require. Or they can engage advisory firms that provide recommendations but not execution.
Neither option addresses the fundamental need: experienced operators who take direct accountability for outcomes, execute with full authority, and build sustainable capability before they exit.
Nexurion addresses this gap. We provide practitioners with deep operational experience who embed in client organizations during critical periods. We make decisions, execute work, and transfer knowledge. We measure success by whether clients need us again. They should not.
How we select and deploy operators
Practitioner Selection
We do not employ career consultants or recent graduates. Our operators have fifteen or more years of hands-on experience building products, leading teams, and solving these exact problems in demanding environments. They have served as CTOs, VPs of Engineering, technical founders, and senior individual contributors across multiple industries and company stages.
Cross-Functional Perspective
Technical problems are frequently organizational problems in disguise. Our operators understand how engineering, product, business, and operations intersect. They recognize patterns across different contexts and apply experience from situations analogous to yours.
Direct Accountability
We operate with the authority and accountability of a permanent executive. Our operators make decisions, own outcomes, and address problems directly. When situations require difficult conversations or decisive action, we act rather than defer.
Capability Transfer
Sustainable outcomes require internal capability. Every engagement includes explicit knowledge transfer, process documentation, and leadership development. Our objective is organizational self-sufficiency, not ongoing dependency.
Working with our firm

- Decisive action with direct ownership of outcomes

Engagement Boundaries

Engagement Process
Initial consultations assess fit and requirements. If engagement proceeds, we establish explicit scope, deliverables, and exit criteria before work begins. Pricing is fixed-scope based on engagement complexity and impact, not hours logged.
Firm leadership
Teal Bauer
Founder
Teal Bauer has over fifteen years of experience as a technical leader, operator, and builder across startups and growth-stage companies. They have served as CTO, VP of Engineering, and technical founder, leading organizations through rapid growth, product pivots, and organizational crises.
Prior to founding Nexurion, Teal operated across fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, and developer tools—building products, stabilizing teams, and helping organizations mature their technical capability during critical transition periods.
Nexurion emerged from repeated engagements stepping into interim leadership roles during organizational crises. The firm addresses the systematic need for experienced operators who can solve problems, transfer knowledge, and exit cleanly when the work is complete.
Partnerships
Philipps & Byrne
We maintain a strategic partnership with Philipps & Byrne for technical due diligence and interim execution engagements. When their portfolio companies or acquisition targets require technical assessment or experienced operators, we collaborate to deliver rigorous evaluation and hands-on support.
Referral Network
Most engagements originate through referrals from investors, advisors, and peer networks who have observed our work in demanding situations. We do not pursue outbound sales or marketing. Clients typically reach us through professional networks that have direct experience with our capabilities.
