Founder and CEO of HITCloud

Founder & CEO

Bob Linzy — building invisible luxury through intelligent technology.

30+ years in enterprise technology · 15 years leading HITCloud

In the evolving world of luxury real estate, technology is no longer viewed as an amenity — it has become an expectation. At the intersection of sophisticated design, intelligent automation, and enterprise-grade infrastructure is HITCloud's Founder & CEO, Bob Linzy — a visionary technology executive redefining how affluent homeowners experience modern living.

For more than three decades, Bob has operated at the highest levels of enterprise technology, systems engineering, cybersecurity, disaster recovery, and executive IT leadership. Over the last 15 years, he has transformed HITCloud — Head in the Cloud — into a premier luxury automation and smart infrastructure firm serving discerning residential and commercial clients across the San Francisco Bay Area, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and beyond.

"In truly refined environments, technology should disappear."

That principle has become the foundation of HITCloud's approach to bespoke automation ecosystems — integrating lighting, climate, audiovisual systems, security, networking, access control, and AI-powered voice experiences into seamless, intuitive environments tailored to each client's lifestyle. Powered by platforms including Crestron and Josh.ai, HITCloud creates fully customized systems delivering effortless control through voice, touch, and mobile interfaces while maintaining architectural integrity.

Unlike many firms operating solely within residential automation, Bob's background combines deep enterprise expertise with luxury lifestyle execution. His career includes technology leadership roles with the United States Air Force, Wang Laboratories, and Electronic Arts, as well as CIO-level leadership within technology and private equity organizations — a rare combination of executive strategy and technical precision that allows HITCloud to deliver infrastructure where cybersecurity, resiliency, privacy, and reliability are as critical as aesthetics.

Today, HITCloud works closely with luxury homeowners, developers, architects, builders, and interior designers to integrate technology into some of the most sophisticated residential and commercial environments in the market — from waterfront estates and penthouses to executive offices and hospitality spaces, every project approached with a concierge-level mindset and uncompromising attention to detail.

Dawn Pruitt, Manager of Customer Experience at HITCloud

Manager of Customer Experience

Dawn Pruitt — thirty years of turning complexity into composure.

Client experience · Platform fluency · Technical support leadership

For more than thirty years, Dawn Pruitt has lived at the intersection of people and technology — translating complex systems into calm, confident outcomes for the clients who depend on them. As Manager of Customer Experience at HITCloud, a role she has shaped since 2014, she is the steady voice behind the brand's most enduring promise: that luxury technology should feel effortless, never intimidating.

Dawn approaches her role as a Customer Technologist — someone who uses deep technical fluency to anticipate needs, remove friction, and elevate the client journey at every touchpoint. She does not simply support systems; she understands how technology shapes daily life in a luxury residence, and she designs the experience around that reality. From first onboarding through years of ongoing concierge care, she ensures that every interaction reinforces the quiet confidence HITCloud clients expect.

Her career reads like a master class in modern customer experience: foundational years inside Microsoft, Intuit, and eBay shaped a discipline that balances technical knowledge with empathy, clarity, and precision. That foundation allows her to anticipate issues before they surface and to resolve them with a discretion that HITCloud clients have come to expect.

The platforms Dawn works with span the systems that power both the modern luxury residence and the business behind it — Microsoft Office 365 Admin (Exchange), Box, Google Workspace administration, Crestron Home, Zoom, Duo, Microsoft Office Suite, My2N access, FirmScript, and Slack. Her fluency across this stack allows her to move seamlessly between client environments, internal operations, and the integrated experiences HITCloud is known for.

Originally from Missouri and shaped by decades in Northern California's Bay Area, Dawn recently relocated to the Fort Lauderdale area, where she continues to lead the support practice that defines HITCloud's service standard. Off the clock, she is most herself outdoors — traveling, camping, and diving — drawn, as ever, to the quiet authority of the ocean.

At HITCloud, Dawn Pruitt is not simply managing customer experience. She is engineering the trust that turns a smart home into a private institution.

Design for daily life

Every interface, scene, and automation is shaped around how the space is actually lived in — not what looks impressive on a spec sheet.

02

Engineer for decades

Documented racks, labeled cabling, and architectures chosen for serviceability ten years out — not the install week.

03

Operate with discretion
