    Smart Parks and Strategic Tech: How Anthony Joy is digitally transforming Cleveland Metroparks (No. 95)

    In this episode of Built in Ohio our guest is Anthony Joy, Chief Information Officer of Cleveland Metroparks. Most people hear “parks” and think of hiking trails and picnic tables. But Anthony, who's the first-ever CIO for Cleveland Metroparks, sees something much more complex: a 25,000-acre network spanning six counties, 18 park reservations, a nationally acclaimed zoo, nine golf courses, marinas, restaurants, retail operations, and a fully commissioned law enforcement agency. Anthony’s job? Make sure all of it runs securely, efficiently, and increasingly smartly. With a background that started in law enforcement and evolved into higher education IT leadership roles, Joy brings a rare mix of public-sector insight, academic discipline, and creative energy to one of Ohio’s most innovative civic organizations. This is an incredible conversation where we talk technologies like cybersecurity, AI, drones, and more. And the next time you go to a Zoo, you're probably going to think about all you see a bit differently.

    Driving Government Innovation: How Shane Bigelow and CHAMP Titles are transforming public sector tech (No. 94)

    In this epsiode of Built in Ohio we welcome Shane Bigelow, CEO of Cleveland-headquartered CHAMP Titles. Modernizing government systems is a challenge few startups dare to tackle. But Shane and the CHAMP team, is proving it can be done, and done from Ohio. Shane, whose background spans finance, capital markets, and emerging technologies, launched CHAMP to digitize one of the most outdated government processes: vehicle titling.  The company helps state governments replace paper-based systems with fully digital solutions that make buying, selling, and managing vehicle titles faster, more secure, and far less bureaucratic. Bigelow’s inspiration for CHAMP came from recognizing just how inefficient and antiquated title processing was, and how it impacted millions of consumers, dealerships, lenders, and government agencies.  This was an incredible conversation and Shane is leading one of Ohio's most exciting tech companies.

    Rewriting the Dress Code: How Becca Wenning is Using AI to Transform Bridal Retail (No. 093)

    In this episode of Built in Ohio, our guest is Becca Wenning—the founder and CEO of Dressit, a smart technology platform that uses artificial intelligence to power designer websites and guide brides—confidently and effortlessly—to the right dress and the right boutique.  Think of it as a digital matchmaker for the most important outfit a person may ever wear. In 2010, Becca stepped into bridal retail just as Pinterest and Instagram were being born. She didn’t know it then, but the digital revolution was about to turn the wedding industry—and her career—inside out. Becca ran her own boutique for over a decade, building a successful business that guided thousands of brides to their perfect dress. But behind the romance and ribbons, she saw chaos: brides overwhelmed by options, boutiques buried under manual processes, and designer brands unable to adapt to modern e-commerce expectations.  By the time she sold her boutique in 2020, she had cataloged every inefficiency the industry refused to fix. Now, she’s fixing them. And building it from Coldwater, Ohio. Connect with Becca on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/becca-wenning/ Check out Dressit at: www.dressit.ai
