Tim Maurer

After 17 years in the motion picture industry, Tim and his wife, Petra, left Los Angeles and moved to Durango in 2013.  While not intending to continue his professional career in Durango, Tim joined software company Data West as their general manager.  After reorganizing the company and shoring up the financials, Data West was successfully sold to Constellation Software, a Canadian public company.

In Los Angeles, Tim worked for the world’s largest post production companies, Technicolor and Deluxe.  At Technicolor, Tim looked after sales, technology and lead several large divisions as president.  After 10 years at Technicolor, Tim joined Deluxe where he led world-wide administration with responsibility for accounting, human resources, legal, real estate, engineering and information technology.  Additionally, Tim had M&A responsibilities at Technicolor and Deluxe.  Prior to working for Technicolor and Deluxe, Tim acquired and operated Nova Lighting, a 40-employee lighting manufacturer located in Southern California.

Tim earned an MBA from the Anderson School of Business at UCLA and is on the board of FastTrack, a Durango based provider of high speed internet and voice communication solutions.

When Tim’s not spending time with Petra and their standard poodle, Ivy, he’s riding or wrenching on one of his motorcycles.
