Ethan Yarbrough | President

“I’m amazed, grateful, thrilled, proud, and inspired by what Allyis has become.”

Role at Allyis

My job is to work with Allyis' senior leadership team to develop and direct company strategy. Of course, I have a role in carrying out that strategy too, and you'll often find me in the market speaking and educating others on emerging enterprise technology trends and Allyis' approach, thinking and expertise in the area. But, even more exciting to me is when I'm able to bring meaningful insights back to our organization to help shape our company's and individual employee's ongoing success.

Experience & Approach

I want to develop real relationships with people and other companies. I want people to understand our work, our expertise, our values, and our philosophy because when they do, people respond very positively. I really enjoy opportunities to speak about our work, but it’s most rewarding when those opportunities lead to the chance to listen to others talk about their companies and what they’re trying to accomplish. I learn from every one of those conversations, and I love that.

A Favorite Project

Allyis is my project. Ongoing. Ever changing. I really didn’t know what it would become when we started in 1996, or if it would even work. Turns out, it’s become my life’s work. I like looking back on the milestones we’ve achieved, the projects we've been a part of, and the relationships we’ve developed with clients and employees, so many of whom have become lifelong friends.

Fun Fact About Me

Though I look 6’4” I am, in fact, only 5’3”. It’s a trick I learned freshman year at Western Washington University when I took a “Techniques in Modern Shamanism” class. Another fun fact: when I'm cornered by a “tell us a fun fact about yourself” question, I take shelter in absurdity.
