Technology Advisors
A Modern IT Advisory Built for Business Leaders
NextWayve exists to help IT and business leaders make smarter technology decisions — from cloud and cybersecurity to connectivity, AI, and vendor strategy.
We’re not here to pitch a product or push one provider’s stack. We’re an independent, strategy-first partner focused on aligning technology with your goals — not a sales agenda.
Our Philosophy
Founded by Scott Whalen, a technology leader with nearly three decades of industry experience, NextWayve was created to serve as a neutral, experienced partner for organizations navigating complex vendor landscapes. With a background that spans supplier sales, technology services distribution, and solution sourcing, Scott brings a 360-degree perspective on how IT decisions get made — and how they can be made better.
Drawing from a seasoned network of professionals with diverse technology backgrounds, we tailor every engagement to the client’s specific needs — without the overhead or bias of traditional firms.
Whether you're rethinking spend, evaluating vendors, or mapping your next move, NextWayve helps you lead with clarity — and never on someone else’s terms.
Who We Are
NextWayve is led by senior advisors with decades of experience guiding technology decisions for companies across all industries — from healthcare and logistics to manufacturing and fintech. We understand the pressure business leaders face, and we bring both strategic thinking and execution support to every engagement.
Who We’ve Worked With
Our work is based on decades of experience collaborating with IT decision-makers, channel partners, startups, and global technology providers.
Our founder, Scott Whalen, has worked across every facet of the technology channel—as a direct seller for suppliers, an executive within a top technology services distributor (TSD), and a partner to teams navigating vendor selection and strategy. This perspective provides a clear understanding of how technology is marketed, sold, and supported from every seat at the table.
Through this background and an extended network of subject matter experts, engineers, and specialists, we can bring deep insight and practical value to a wide range of engagements.
We’re not just starting from scratch. We’re starting from experience.
