The kind of partner we wished we'd had when we were on the operating side.
Old Forrest Consulting is a Utah-based firm founded by Christopher Ledbetter and Taylor Westmoreland. We built it to sit in the gap operations-heavy mid-market businesses fall into — too small for the BI consultancies, too complicated for generalist MSPs, and not well served by the sea of single-purpose vendors competing for the budget.
We do what used to take a fractional CTO, an MSP, a BI consultancy, and an integration partner — combined, coordinated, and delivered by the same team that knows your business. AI-enabled where it matters; human where it has to be.
We built Old Forrest to be the kind of partner we wished we'd had when we were on the operating side — honest, fast, and present.
Two operators who've been on the inside.
Christopher Ledbetter
Christopher's background spans technical leadership at NetApp, Dropbox, and Orbital ATK. He's the senior operator on the engagements — the person walking the shop, sitting with leadership, and owning the stack end-to-end.

Taylor is an aerospace engineer turned operator. He brings the discipline of process-heavy engineering to the integration and configuration work, with a deep instinct for how operations actually run.
taylor@oldforrest.netFour things that don't change.
- Honest about fit.
We tell you on the first call whether we're the right partner. The wrong engagement is bad for both of us.
- Fast where it counts.
AI-enabled where it matters; human where it has to be. Configuration, integration, and dashboard work that took agencies three months takes us three weeks.
- Present after the build.
Most consultants hand off and disappear. We're still here — monitoring, iterating, answering the phone.
- One number to call.
We own the relationships with your CRM, field tools, hardware, internet, and website vendors. You stop being the integration manager for your own business.
