That’s what David has been doing his entire career. At Lumio he’ll help create the positive and impactful opportunities that aspiring and experienced engineers might never encounter again.”

Burggraaf brings his xpertise and leadership to Lumio during a time of unprecedented growth for the company.

Lumio leadership is investing heavily in developing revolutionary software to drive innovation in customer experience and make work easier for employees.



“David can lead a world-class technology org and still demonstrate the kindness and genuine care that lifts and inspires everyone around him,” said Lumio chief experience officer, Jared Fitch. “His leadership style promotes opportunity and growth for each team member and an environment that’s engaging and hyper-focused on solving meaningful problems with brilliant tech.”

Lumio’s vision to decentralize power, elevate communities, and deliver Earth’s best Home Experience is well-suited for Burggraaf. “Lumio aligns with my personal mission to try and make the world a better place,” said Burggraaf. “I’ve always had a passion for making a difference through unconventional business models and advanced technology, and I am excited to be a part of Lumio as we elevate and inspire people and their communities.”
