COO & Co-Founder


Dr. Orion P. Welch bridges technical precision and human transformation. As a retired Naval Aviator and organizational strategist, he orchestrates AI adoption frameworks that honor how people actually work—not how technology assumes they should. 

With an EdD from USC's Rossier School of Education and experience spanning military operations, federal leadership, and private sector innovation, Dr. Welch knows sustainable change requires understanding organizational culture before deploying solutions. At IEQ, he ensures transformation initiatives succeed by designing systems that put people first.
