Chuck Poole, CISSP
CEO
More than 40 years ago, Chuck Poole set his eyes on one of the first "Personal Computers" commercially available and it was love at first sight. He was so enamored with computers that some people worried he might never do anything else - and they were absolutely right.
Throughout his career he has written more than 400 software packages and won numerous "Product of the Year" awards from three different prestigious industry publications. He has developed software for the United Nations, the FBI, the CIA, Bahamas Telecom, Cosmopolitan Magazine, MTV, and hundreds of other international and governmental organizations. As a Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Chuck has consulted with a wide range of businesses on industry regulation, compliance, and the hardening of their cyber defenses.
Now, after more than 30 years of IT experience, he is still seeking better ways to implement technology that can help his clients increase productivity, lower costs, secure their data, and create new opportunities.
