Career and entrepreneurship
Schumann attended Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business, where he graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a concentration in management information systems.
Following a corporate career that included roles at JP Morgan and Nationwide, Schumann founded Aware in Columbus, Ohio in 2017. Schumann and his co-founders conceived of Aware to manage collaboration data across popular business collaboration software platforms, such as Zoom, Slack, Microsoft Teams, as well as email. Aware aims to enhance the security of the digital workplace and protect intellectual property.[1][2]
Schumann has written publicly about the security risks that have emerged with the rise of these collaborative tools, arguing in Forbes that the Uber data breaches illustrate both the difficulty and importance of protecting against cyber vulnerabilities when a company’s data becomes dispersed across numerous applications.[3][4]
As of early 2026, Schumann was described as VP of branding and AI strategy at Mimecast.[5]
OH.io Ventures
Schumann and billionaire Ratmir Timashev founded OH.io Ventures as a stealth startup in September 2025.[6] The startup accelerator, intended by Schumann and Timashev to attract tech startups to Ohio, was revealed to the public in February 2026, with Schumann serving as CEO.[7][8]
The accelerator model developed by Schumann and Timashev involves providing additional services such as dedicated sales & marketing teams as well as office space, paired with an 18-month revenue sharing agreement followed by the option to exercise an equity stake in the supported company.
