03 / Managing Director
Juan D. Lopez
Managing Director
The Throughput Group
As an aerospace and defense technology operator, I have spent my career building, scaling, and modernizing mission-critical software used across aerospace, defense, manufacturing, and industrial operations. These are environments where reliability, precision, and uptime aren't optional. I know what it takes to lead teams that deliver technology trusted to keep aircraft mission-ready, production lines running, and complex systems operating safely. With Throughput Group, I am applying that hands-on aerospace and manufacturing experience to acquire and grow exceptional lower-middle-market companies that form the backbone of industrial performance. My goal is to honor the legacy of founders who built these essential businesses while bringing modern product management, AI, and cloud capabilities to ensure they thrive for decades to come.
