Technovate.One Appoints Dr. Kristie Nguyen as Chief Eye Care Evangelist & Brand Ambassador, To Lead the Technology and AI Transformation Wave in the Optical Industry

Leading AI-Driven Custom Software Development Company Brings Industry-Recognized Optometrist and Entrepreneur on Board to Accelerate Technology Modernization Across Optical Groups, Enterprise Chains, and PE-Backed Organizations

Technovate.One, an AI-driven custom software development and digital engineering company, today announced the appointment of Dr. Kristie Nguyen, OD board-certified optometrist, entrepreneur, and recognized industry voice as Chief Eye Care Evangelist & Brand Ambassador. This strategic partnership signals Technovate.One’s formal commitment to the optical industry, addressing one of the most persistent and costly challenges in eye care & eyewear at scale: fragmented technology ecosystems that fail to deliver ROI.

The Problem Technovate.One Is Solving

Despite significant investment in PMS, EHR platforms, billing tools, and CRM systems, the majority of multi-location optical organizations continue to operate with disconnected data, manual workflows, and limited ability to leverage AI not due to lack of ambition, but due to lack of integration.

Technovate.One’s entry into the optical space is built around a three-stage technology maturity model purpose-built for multi-location (small/large) & PE-backed practices:

Stage 1 — The Foundation: For practices still relying on legacy or paper-based systems, Technovate.One builds bespoke foundational platforms tailored to the specific clinical and operational workflows of that organization.

Stage 2 — The Integration: For practices with multiple disconnected systems, Technovate.One designs and implements integration layers that unify PMS, EHR, RCM, inventory, labs, and CRM platforms eliminating manual data entry and establishing a clean, AI-ready data foundation.

Stage 3 — The AI & Analytics Edge: For organizations with mature tech stacks, Technovate.One delivers custom AI layers, predictive analytics, and agentic automation enabling operational intelligence that off-the-shelf SaaS providers are not designed to offer.

Why Dr. Kristie Nguyen

Dr. Nguyen brings over two decades of clinical and entrepreneurial experience in optometry. A graduate of Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry, she has built a reputation as both a respected clinician and a leading voice on practice growth, technology adoption, and industry advocacy. She is the founder of Dr. Kristie Nguyen PLLC in Winter Park, Florida, and has served as a brand ambassador, keynote speaker, and social media thought leader reaching thousands of eye care professionals across the United States.

Her firsthand understanding of how optical practices operate from single-location independents to multi-site enterprise groups makes her uniquely positioned to help Technovate.One translate complex technical capabilities into outcomes that matter to practice owners, COOs, and investors.

“What set Technovate.One apart for me was the combination of deep optical industry understanding and genuine technical execution. Most technology companies come at our industry from the outside. Technovate.One builds from the inside out around how practices actually work, not how software vendors think they work. That’s the difference between a tool people tolerate and a platform that drives real change.” — Dr. Kristie Nguyen, Chief Eye Care Evangelist & Brand Ambassador, Technovate.One

Technovate.One’s Strategic Focus on the Optical Industry

Technovate.One’s broader platform delivers scalable cloud, AI, data, and digital engineering solutions across industries including healthcare, financial services, SaaS, and manufacturing. The appointment of Dr. Nguyen formalizes the company’s dedicated vertical focus on optical a sector characterized by rapid consolidation, growing PE investment, and increasing demand for technology infrastructure that can scale with organizational growth.

“The optical industry doesn’t have a tool problem it has a connectivity problem. When systems don’t work the way you want, we build customization layers. When they don’t talk to each other, we integrate it and build agentic workflows. We’ve worked with all the industry leading EHR and PMS platforms in optical never to replace them, but to help businesses finally extract value from what they’ve already invested in. When we met Dr. Kristie Nguyen at an industry event, the alignment was immediate she saw the same gaps we did. Together, we’re solving the right problem, for the right industry, at the right time.” — Anish Jhaveri, CEO, Technovate.One

“Organizations are scaling faster than their technology ecosystems can support. Dr. Nguyen brings the domain credibility and the network to help us reach the practices and groups that need this most. We’re not here to sell another subscription but to build the infrastructure that makes every tool in a practice’s stack actually work together.” — Meet Shah, Head of Growth, Technovate.One
