Leadership

Four decades at the bench. One verification layer.

Regulated laboratories do not need another dashboard. They need calibration data integrity infrastructure that verifies the math behind analytical results — before an audit makes the problem visible. That conviction comes from the people who lived it.

Walter S. Hinchman

Co-founder · Chief Executive Officer
An operator fluent in regulated markets: medical device sales at Boston Scientific and Nevro, founder of Swolverine, a sports nutrition company he built and scaled. MBA from the University of Nevada, Reno, with studies at Birkbeck Business School, London. Brings the commercial discipline of regulated selling to laboratory infrastructure.

Walter “Chip” Hinchman

Co-founder · Chief Science Officer

Over four decades in analytical chemistry and laboratory entrepreneurship. Built Alpha Analytical into a 50-person operation and leads compliance operations at Envirotech. His patented deterministic regression methodology is the scientific foundation of WLTR, and his fingerprints are on the NELAP and TNI standards labs are inspected against today.

Alan Harlan

Chief Technology Officer

More than 35 years in software delivery and cloud architecture, leading global engineering organizations of 3,000+ at EPAM and SoftServe. Execution discipline for deploying calibration infrastructure across regulated laboratories.

Kirk Hinchman

Chief Implementation & Systems Engineering Officer

Deployment is a discipline: previously designed training programs for imaging equipment systems at GE Healthcare. Translates calibration methodology into deployable infrastructure — workflow training, systems readiness, user adoption.

Jake Lawson

Head of Capital Strategy
Corporate strategy and financial planning background, including Theon. Connects WLTR’s technical foundation to institutional capital around data integrity and regulated laboratory markets.
Why this team

The problem sits between three disciplines. So does the team.

Calibration defensibility fails in the gaps — between the chemistry, the software, and the regulated market. WLTR’s leadership covers all three: the scientist who wrote the methodology and helped shape the standards, the engineers who have shipped infrastructure at global scale, and operators who have sold into regulated environments their whole careers.
