About Me, Professor Tim Bates, The Godfather of Tech

I was discovered at the age of 13 by the U.S. Marshals Service as a hacker and later recruited by the U.S. Government to train and educate them on how to track down digital pirates and hackers. My passion extends beyond my extensive expertise in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, and Immersive Technologies. My stunning resume includes positions like Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Global Fortune 200 companies, such as Lenovo, (ranked The World’s Most Admired company by Fortune Magazine) and America’s Top Automaker, General Motors. At General Motors, I led groundbreaking projects like the company’s software-defined ecosystem for the Hummer Electric and digital twinning of vehicles to solve problems during the iterative process long before manufacturing began.

My technical expertise is sought after and utilized by market-leading organizations such as Deloitte & Touché LLP, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Dow Chemical, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the US Marine Corps. I currently serve as a Fractional CTO to a number of emerging technology start-ups and am a Professor of Practice at the University of Michigan, College of Innovation and Technology. Additionally, I work as an advisor, public speaker, and consultant, sharing my knowledge and insights with a broad audience.
