Lyle Ball
Chief Executive Officer
Lyle envisioned Avii based on the collective contributions made by the amazing executive assistants, personal assistants and corporate office managers he’s worked with during the past 25 years. He knows how valuable these team members are to the culture, operations and progress of every successful company.
He spends his day listening to customers, reading the market, and steering Avii on paths that solve real world problems for consultants in all scenarios--from Global 1000 consultants who serve the most complex clients in the world...to the vast majority of consultants who work in offices of 20 or fewer employees yet serve almost all organizations on Earth.
He is a creative and driven software executive, with a productive history and disciplined approach for leading data-driven changes through strategic market analysis, rapid-growth organizational uplifts, metered international expansion, and value-based human capital development.
Lyle gained his 20+ years of leadership experience in high technology, clean energy and professional services companies with extensive reach in Cloud, SaaS, Open Source and legal service markets. The majority of his career is anchored to venture capital organizations, including Venrock, Northbridge, Canopy Group and Amp Resources; and as a partner to Apple, Google, Amazon, PayPal, Microsoft, Salesforce and other leading software mega-giants.
He speaks several languages and has enjoyed overseeing companies and teams in the United States, Europe, Asia, and South America. Lyle graduated from Brigham Young University.

Rod Sturgis
Chief Information Officer
Rod is Avii's handler. He ensures Avii’s security and availability. Fundamentally, his daily work makes the Avii platform possible.
Staying a step ahead of technical and business requirements and service needs of our clients is no easy task, as they pass down the highly-demanding specifications and goals of the Global 1000 clients they serve.

Eric Eaton
Client Services
Eric is the champion for all Avii clients. He has spent his career building and managing all aspects of client relationships, and leading cross-functional teams to ensure clients’ expectations, desired goals, and outcomes are exceeded. With over 20 years in client relationship management and technical engagement management roles, in both agency and corporate environments, Eric is passionate about all aspects of customer success.
Eric leads Avii’s post-sales functions, including customer success management, professional services, and support. He is the single point of accountability for client success at Avii. He charts the roadmap to success for individual clients, across their journey with Avii. He engages with clients during sales cycles and leads post-sales engagements and onboarding with clients, and maintains a deep understanding of the use cases for Avii in key verticals.
Mostly, though, Eric qualifies success not as an individual pursuit, but rather in balancing success for Avii’s customers, teammates, families, investors, and community.
Away from the office, Eric is a bit of an introvert who is content to pass the time with family and friends. He is quite happy in front of a grill, the more guests in the backyard, the better. But, being married to an adventure buff, a rolling stone, the yin to his yang, their paths together have usually been those less-traveled, filled with the unexpected and the magical. While living and raising their family in Utah has been extremely rewarding, Eric wishes they could spend a lot more time at Lake Tahoe, their second home.
