Charles Brian Quinn, also known as CBQ, is a passionate technologist, a programmer at heart, an entrepreneur to the core, an investor in people, a builder of products, an ardent salesperson, a loquacious speaker, and is always up for a run.
CBQ believes the answer to everything is automating it with software. His house, his todo list, and now he's doing it for outdoor power equipment, starting with commercial lawn equipment.
After selling Big Nerd Ranch to Projeckt202 (an Amdocs company), he joined the Studio at Atlanta Ventures to start Greenzie, investing millions of his own money along with industry pros and venture investors to help free humans from repetitive outdoor labor.
Greenzie is now the leading provider of operator assist, self-driving, and autonomous capabilities to the zero-turn commercial lawn mower industry, with happy, successful landscaper customers and trusted manufacturing partners like Wright Manufacturing, Bobcat, Scag, Mean Green, Ariens/Gravely, Alamo and more.
