Nicholas Maloney is a co-founder of The Gnar Company, the Needham, Massachusetts, software consultancy he started with Mike Stone in 2015. He leads the firm’s technical work after more than 20 years building software in regulated enterprises and startups (The Gnar Company).
Enterprise health-tech to The Gnar
He and Mike Stone cut their teeth in enterprise health-tech, where software has to work under heavy compliance rules. In 2015 they launched The Gnar on the idea that a senior team with the right amount of process can deliver high-quality work fast (The Gnar Company).
Leading technical delivery and Claude work
He guides technical solutions across large regulated organizations and small product launches, aiming for simple systems that keep working. In November 2026, as The Gnar became a Claude Select Services Partner, he said customers want AI that ships and holds up in production: “Our engineers use Claude every day, on real client work” (EIN Presswire).
