Who we are
Our Team
Mendy Green
Founder
Mendy is a self-professed “fixer” with over 13 years of experience in the MSP industry, including his time as CTO of a 100-person MSP. He’s the go-to expert for complex challenges, and when something seems unfixable, Mendy thrives on being the one who gets it done. His dual passion is clear: solving tough problems and transforming the world of tech into something everyone can actually enjoy and benefit from. A fixture in the MSPGeek community and currently serving as Interim CEO, Mendy is as much a teacher as he is a technician. His leadership extends far beyond just offering quick fixes—he’s committed to mentoring others and helping them elevate their skills, whether they’re troubleshooting day-to-day issues or making strategic business decisions. His practical, no-nonsense approach means he cuts through the clutter and offers solutions that work in the real world, not just in theory. At Rising Tide, Mendy’s focus is on empowering both people and businesses to grow, innovate, and succeed. He’s not one to sugarcoat things, but you’ll leave a conversation with him not just with a solution, but with the knowledge and confidence to make tech work for you long-term.

Outside of work, Jen enjoys epic tales like A Song of Ice and Fire and Lord of the Rings. At home, there are fewer dragons, orcs, and hobbits, but her epic tales include six cats, two dogs, and one human child, which, perhaps, is close enough.
Lucas Coulson
Consultant
Lucas brings a wealth of experience from Rewst and a strong background in the MSP world. Having exited his own MSP and spent time in internal IT roles, Lucas has discovered his passion: working directly with MSPs to implement automation solutions. Whether it’s simplifying processes or finding new ways to streamline workflows, automation is Lucas’s sweet spot, and he’s always looking for ways to help MSPs work smarter.
When he’s not at his desk, Lucas can be found fishing, backpacking, or doing anything that gets him out into the mountains and away from the everyday grind.
