Riley Harlan

CEO & Visionary

Riley is our visionary, purchasing Symtec in 2010 after about 20 years in corporate software development, His passion is technology, and he works to apply it to every aspect of the company. Riley’s passion for innovation is what drives Symtec to be a company that constantly pushes to create new, exciting, and improved products for our clients. He loves seeing Symtec grow and seeing employees catch on and get excited about what we’re doing.

Riley is also passionate about travel, and loves to recount stories about his Tuk-Tuk journey thousands of kilometers across India, along with adventures to many corners of the world.

He is an active member and leader in Entrepreneurs' Organization of Minnesota which allows him to spend time learning and growing with Entrepreneurs from around the world.

Tom Donnillon

Director of Engineering

Tom’s the guy who figures stuff out. He has an uncanny ability to cut through extremely complex problems or processes with simple and elegant solutions. Often, he’s the source of our best ideas. To put it bluntly, Tom’s a nerd in the best possible way.

As the engineering team’s lead, Tom guides and empowers each engineer to take on their own projects and find creative solutions for our clients. His diverse background of work helps him connect with people at every level of our industry. When not working, you can find him in public, loudly pointing out which vehicles have products that he helped design.

Kathryn Demeules

General Manager & Integrator

Kathryn’s like John Wooden if John Wooden coached HMI engineers instead of college basketball players. At Symtec, she’s in charge of making sure everything gets done. 

In her role, she helps elevate people to the next level in their positions. She’s responsible for building a great team with a great culture.
