Kodie Kennedy | Chief Product Officer

Kodie Kennedy is the Chief Product Officer at 3 Tree Tech. He is a builder at heart, a founder who chose to join 3 Tree Tech after designing and shipping his own B2B platform from the ground up.

Kodie's path to product wasn't conventional. He earned a Business Administration degree from Texas State University and got his start in cybersecurity at Axis Security, selling SASE and SSE technology before HPE Aruba Networking acquired the company. His first-person view of how broken vendor outreach became the genesis for why he built Konnect.io. The fact that he didn't come from an engineering background didn't stop him from solving what he saw as one of the biggest problems in the vendor-buyer process.

He architected the platform himself, wrote the code, built the AI matching engine, and engineered the Konceal anonymous browsing system that gives buyers the power to explore on their own terms. That blend of self-taught engineering and product instinct is what he brings to 3 Tree Tech, where Kodie leads product strategy and development, building tools and offerings that give CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs a real advantage without the noise.

“I built Konnect.io because I was tired of watching brilliant technology leaders get buried under cold outreach from vendors who never bothered to understand what they needed. 3 Tree Tech is the only advisory firm I’ve met that fights the same fight from the other side of the table. Joining forces was the obvious move.”

In his new role, Kennedy will lead development and innovation initiatives across 3 Tree’s client base, bringing a builder’s perspective to the firm’s technology advisory engagements.
