// President and Co-Founder

Clayton Callander is the President of FTL. He graduated from the US Naval Academy in 2013 with a degree in Naval Architecture and specialized in Nuclear Engineering before spending seven years in the US Submarine Force. He went on to Harvard Business School, graduating in 2021. Clayton then became President of a national HVAC company, where rapid growth and a shortage of skilled technicians pushed him toward a question the industry had failed to answer: How do you serve more buildings with a limited number of people? That question led to the Remote Equipment Monitor - a small, affordable wireless controls device that demonstrated how the economics of building management could change with the right data in the right hands. Clayton left to found Field Technologies. Facilities Triage is the category he’s defining.

“Our goal is to connect as many buildings as possible, as quickly as possible, to tools that make the people who maintain them more effective. We are honest enough with ourselves to know that we cannot do that alone.”

Your buildinghas been talking.

FTL was built to answer. The technology to close the gap between what a building knows and what the people running it can act on has been available for years. Building the company to connect them properly is what brought this team together.
