I’m Kyler Schmitz.

My career has followed the infrastructure that powers the economy. I spent about ten years at Amazon Web Services, rising from Technical Account Manager to Senior Leader of Leaders in enterprise sales, and in my last role led North America enterprise sales organizations that consistently exceeded nine-figure annual quotas.

I then became Chief Revenue Officer of Electric Era Technologies, a Seattle EV fast-charging company founded by former SpaceX engineers, selling battery-backed charging to national retailers. Today I am VP, Head of Commercial Business at Patmos, a data center and GPU colocation company, where I built the commercial organization from 3 to more than 40 people in about eight months.

Across every role the work is the same: build demand from zero, design a go-to-market motion that scales, put guardrails around pricing and commitments, and develop people who become leaders. I now offer that work as a fractional CRO / CCO.

I hold a B.S. in Business Administration and Management from Montana State University, served as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve (2012–2015), and was a member of the Board of Advisors at TEI (2025–2026). I live in Rathdrum, Idaho.
