Our Leadership Team

"Our leadership team brings decades of engineering and manufacturing experience, focusing on delivering exceptional service to our customers."

Steve Lilley, P. Eng. (Mechanical)

President and Cofounder

Background:
I spent about a decade with a company that developed and manufactured marine navigation for military and commercial applications, rising to VP Manufacturing.

Vision for Protocase:
I was convinced that if we could help people like me save time and effort, that we'd have a winner. Close to 20 years later, with 16,000+ customers worldwide, I know my feeling was correct. Now I'm focused on growing this company while still maintaining the speed and excellent service that got it to where it is now.

Doug Milburn, Ph.D. (Mechanical Engineering)

Protocase Co-founder and Vice-President

Background:
I had such a great time in University that I spent a dozen years there. After that, I started a company that did research in advanced materials and associated manufacturing processes.

Vision for Protocase:
Steve and I thought that if executed properly, then super-fast, template based, made-to-order enclosures could make the whole 'modified off-the-shelf' approach obsolete.
