Our Team
Hugh O. Stewart 
Founder & President
For the past decade, Platform Transition Founder and President Hugh Stewart has carried an enduring vision: to revolutionize data migration and free businesses from the constraints of outdated systems, while providing concierge flat-fee services that minimize risk to customers.
Hugh’s journey began in 2014, when he attempted to migrate his company’s multi-entity accounting data in the construction vertical to Sage Intacct and discovered that no competent solution existed. Implementers actively discouraged comprehensive conversions, viewing them as too hard and too long, with too much risk to meeting Go-Live. As he does, Hugh tackled the challenge with persistence, excellence, and a visionary mindset. What began as a necessity became a solution that served other companies with similar needs, a solution that is comprehensive, accurate, and aligned to each customer’s needs.
Hugh’s background spans engineering roles at Pratt and Whitney, Merck, Hewlett Packard, and GE Nuclear Energy, and a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Miami. He also built and sold a multi-location money services business, helped lead a real estate development company through its startup-to-growth transition, and served as a Major in the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary.
Yet it is not his resume that explains how Hugh has built Platform Transition into the best team of his career. The clarity of thought Hugh brings to complex problems, his talent for creating elegant systems, and his ability to inspire confidence in both team and customers through his intelligence, integrity and unwavering dedication, form the spirit and foundation of Platform Transition, drawing in others who share the same mission and values.
