Newburyport, MA — VALR Advisors is proud to announce the expansion of our core leadership team with the addition of Tony Winter as a Core Advisor.

By adding a veteran Chief Technology Officer to our existing expertise in Sales, Marketing, and Operations, VALR is uniquely positioned to solve the most complex "stuck revenue" challenges facing B2B technology companies today.

Bridging Technology and Market Success "We’ve seen time and again that GTM friction often starts in the product," says Mike Brunnick, CEO of VALR Advisors. "Tony’s ability to align a company’s technical foundation with its commercial goals is the 'missing link' for many of our clients. His addition allows us to offer a 360-degree assessment of a company's growth potential."

A Powerful Partnership - VALR & Wintonium: Tony joins VALR while maintaining his role as the Founder of Wintonium, a premier fractional CTO service. This partnership allows VALR clients to access elite-level technical strategy—from SaaS re-architecture and AI innovation to technical due diligence—integrated directly into their broader GTM strategy.

About Tony Winter: With over 25 years of experience, Tony has led digital transformations across enterprise software and industrial tech. As the former CTO of QAD, he managed a 250-person engineering organization and played a pivotal role in the company’s $2 billion acquisition by Thoma Bravo. He is a recognized "CTO of the Year" and holds a U.S. patent in service-oriented architecture.

What This Means for Our Clients: Whether you are launching a new product, entering a new territory, or scaling your GTM team, VALR Advisors now provides the executive-level technical oversight necessary to ensure your technology is an accelerator, not a bottleneck.
