Matt Atwater
He co-founded his company, with an initial focus on aerospace IT, just after the tech bubble burst in the early 2000s. In 2007, his business partner passed away, followed by the Great Recession a year later.
So when COVID-19 hit the global stage, decimating the commercial airline industry, Atwater was prepared to weather the storm. In fact, despite the initial negative impact from the pandemic early last year, Tsunami Tsolutions added 30 new employees during the back-half of 2020 and saw revenue increase by over 20%.
Atwater credits his company’s long-term strategic diversification of services – and a focus on two key Greater Hartford industries, aerospace and defense – with Tsunami’s success.
