Exocubic was founded by John Stough. For the last couple of decades, John has been in the world of complex software architecture development, working on robotics, industrial controls, 3D visualization, artificial intelligence, and (most recently) avionics. During the early part of his career, just after a stint in the US Air Force, John started a side consulting business called Exocubic. After working in commercial software for several really cool projects, he transitioned to the defense industry, as the Chief Solutions Architect for a small defense contractor working on things like the Future Airborne Capabilities Environment (FACE) Technical Standard and the Enterprise Architecture for Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA). John continued to support entrepreneurial consulting and coaching on the edges, having helped launch a couple of non-profits, coffee shops, and being involved in church planting. Starting in the summer of 2024, John restarted Exocubic and entered into full time consulting to support other small businesses in the emerging MOSA ecosystem. The growing team now supports a number of defense and commercial clients.

Exocubic, LLC is a management consulting company focused on solving complex business challenges.  The name is a reference to the term “think outside the box” popularized by management consultants years ago. We form and support specialized teams in order to help small enterprises managed complex challenges associated with rapid growth, including overseas developers, being the technical proxy for Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), and helping heritage companies modernize and embrace technological transformations. We have a primary focus on Complex Systems and Software Architecture, particularly safety critical and embedded systems (such as avionics, robotics, and AI in real-time systems).  Architectural solutions in Information Technology is about much more that software frameworks; it has to do with innovation, creativity, business structures, process improvement, personality dynamics, and project management. Therefore, we take a holistic Enterprise Architecture approach.

We have assisted in consulting for process re-engineering and business management practices for a number of companies. We also conduct offsite strategic planning and hold micro conferences on creative thinking. John is available for speaking engagements , you can find out more from his profile on LinkedIn.
