After nearly three decades working in technology and calling the Raleigh Durham area home, I’m excited to begin a new chapter as the owner of NerdsToGo of Cary, and, most importantly, to continue serving the customers and community that Mike Triolo and his team have built this business around.

My first priority is continuity.

Mike has built a strong local business based on relationships, responsiveness and trust, supported by a talented technical team that knows its customers and their technology environments. Those are strengths I intend to preserve. I’m working closely with Mike through an intentional transition period, meeting customers personally and learning the business from him and the team. Customers should expect the same people, the same relationships and the same commitment to service they know today.

Enterprise Technology Experience.

Local Small Business Focus. I’ve spent nearly 30 years in the technology industry, including leadership roles with companies such as Cisco, Red Hat/IBM and Schneider Electric. My career has centered on helping organizations use technology more effectively, across IT, digital transformation, business operations, sales technology, process improvement and organizational change. I’ve seen firsthand what world class organizations can accomplish when technology is reliable, secure and aligned to the way people actually work. One of the things that attracted me to NerdsToGo is the opportunity to bring that experience closer to home: helping small and midsize businesses gain access to the kind of thoughtful, dependable and increasingly sophisticated technology capabilities that larger enterprises often take for granted. That doesn’t mean making IT more complicated. Quite the opposite. For a small business owner, technology should help the business run, not become another business to run.

Building on What Already Works

My approach to this transition is simple: listen first, preserve what works, and improve thoughtfully. NerdsToGo of Cary has evolved into a predominantly business focused managed IT provider, helping local organizations manage, support and secure the technology they depend upon every day. My goal is to build on that foundation, continuing to strengthen managed IT, cybersecurity, cloud and technology support while looking for thoughtful ways to make our customers even more productive and resilient. Over time, I also expect to introduce complementary advisory capabilities in areas such as AI readiness and adoption, workflow and process improvement, digital transformation and operational efficiency. These services will complement, not replace, our core NerdsToGo IT services and give interested customers another way to use our team and experience to improve their businesses.

Invested in the Triangle

I’ve lived in the Raleigh Durham Cary area for nearly 30 years. This is where I’ve built my career, raised my family and watched the Triangle become one of the country’s most dynamic technology and business communities. This next chapter is intentionally local for me. I’m looking forward to getting to know our customers personally, understanding their businesses and becoming an active partner in the local small business community for many years to come.

If you’re already a NerdsToGo customer, thank you for the trust you’ve placed in Mike and the team. I intend to earn that same trust, and build upon it.
