David Tan was inspired to design and build CrushBank after watching IBM Watson’s artificial intelligence beat the best on Jeopardy. He was the first in the industry to specifically apply AI and unstructured search to the data sets leveraged by Managed Service Providers every day. As CrushBank’s CTO, his vision continues to shape the direction of the product today. Before starting CrushBank, Tan helped start a New York-based managed service provider and held the role of CTO for 30 years. His technology disciplines range from application development to cognitive computing, machine learning and AI. Tan has built AI Solutions on IBM Watson, Microsoft Azure and OpenAI. He has detailed expertise in the areas of MSP efficiency and effectiveness as well as the integration challenges caused by mergers and acquisitions.

Tan has spoken at industry events such as IBM Think, World of Watson, ConnectWise–IT Nation, Executive Connection Summit, ChannelCon and many more. He is a member of CompTIA’s AI Advisory Council.
