CEO at Brivy IT, simplifying Utah businesses’ technology with managed IT, cybersecurity, and physical security.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Brivy IT, I’m building a Utah technology company around a simple idea: businesses shouldn’t need six vendors to manage six parts of their technology. We help organizations simplify and secure the systems they depend on, from managed IT and cybersecurity to physical security and business phones.
I founded Brivy to work beyond the traditional MSP model. Networks, phones, identity, cameras, access control, and Microsoft 365 affect one another, and we work to understand how those systems fit together.
Before Brivy, I was Chief Technology Officer at Fiduciary Risk Systems, where I was responsible for setting technological direction and aligning systems and processes with organizational objectives. At Les Olson Company, I worked in managed IT sales and led the IT sales team across its locations, while also selling alongside the team.
I’ve spent my career helping businesses address technology and operational problems, including communications, office technology, and physical security. I’m also the author of “Guarding the Beehive: Cybersecurity for Utah’s Business Community,” a practical guide for business owners and leaders.
