Led design and development of over 300 software solutions, specializing in solving complex problems with high-value impact. Built TRUEclaims, a software that an Auto Adjuster spent 15 years trying to develop. Before meeting me, he went through 19 software companies, all of which said it was impossible, one of which wanted to charge him $1M to attempt to build it with no timeline provided. I built a working version in less than 1.5 months. Some MVPs built: TRUEclaims Trucker Matcher (~2 weeks to MVP) Partner Rally (~2 weeks to MVP) Lead Bridge (~5 days to MVP) Amazon Product Search/Filter (~2 weeks to MVP) Easy Work Orders (~3 days to MVP) Real Estate Showcase (~2 weeks to MVP) Community Helper (~4 days to MVP) COVID-19 Marketplace (~3 weeks to MVP) Commercial Real Estate CRM (~2 weeks to MVP) U10K - Uber For Freight (~3 weeks to MVP) I’ve also been selling over a decade, particularly Tech Sales, and have closed many deals and onboarded well over 100 customers.

In 1997, Peter Voghel founded The Catapult Company as a response to the wave of data consolidation acquisitions in the mid-2000s, driven by publicly funded ventures like Iron Mountain, Pierce Leahy, Lason, and Imagemax. These companies were acquiring small, independent businesses in records and media management that often lacked the scalability to compete with larger players. Many family-run operations accepted offers of liquidity and stock ownership, but new management soon struggled to integrate diverse, disparate operations. This rapid expansion model led to many companies either folding or reverting to family ownership, leaving behind fragmented businesses. To address these challenges, Peter developed the Catapult Process—a 90-Day Intensive Program designed to prepare private companies for acquisition, help restructure after failed acquisitions, or support the growth of promising ventures. The process focused on leadership development, core business processes, recruiting, and training, equipping companies with scalable strategies, operational plans, and the talent needed to align with their vision. Over the years, the Catapult Company’s protocols have been applied across various industries, from document management to financial services, fostering long-term relationships and a strong reputation for empowering businesses to thrive. Today, as CEO and Chief Ideation Officer of Renew The Nation, Peter has drawn on his experience and relationships from Catapult to build a team focused on a transformative mission: "Renew The Nation." Renew The Nation blends the Catapult ethos with Peter’s personal commitment to uplifting blue-collar workers—a group he’s closely connected to, having started his career as an HVAC mechanic. With this vision, Renew The Nation is pioneering a technology model that integrates HVAC, solar, and smart home technologies through its proprietary SUNNAI behavioral platform. This approach not only modernizes the trades but also establishes valuable career opportunities within a franchise model, empowering tradespeople with access to first-to-market products and services. Under Peter’s leadership, the same core principles of The Catapult Company—innovation, leadership, and scalable strategy—now drive Renew The Nation’s mission to empower the workforce, bridge the gap in the trades, and build a sustainable, tech-enabled future for blue-collar industries.

I am also a patented inventor holding 4 patents for a new electric motor technology, and can help you with IP protection. In the field of Artificial Intelligence, I developed an AI-driven training simulation for the U.S. Navy, which features a 3D virtual environment integrated with an AI chatbot, creating highly realistic simulations of conversational scenarios with naval cadets. I also engineered an AI coaching system for a global learning institution, utilizing the ChatGPT API to create a sophisticated chatbot that provides personalized coaching based on the institution's learning materials. My client roster includes startups, small businesses, to multi-billion dollar public companies. My experience also includes contracting with the DOD and undertaking municipal government projects, where my strategic insights have facilitated complex technical deployments and significant enhancements to infrastructure. I have over 40 years of experience in technology, from running the service dept. of the first computer store in the world servicing computers down to the chip level in the early 1980’s (before Apple and IBM PC), to more than 30 years running my boutique software development and consulting company http://www.rightangles.com.
