Founder / CEO
Hailing from Wisconsin, the Midwestern heart of the U.S., Chad grew up with a strong work ethic imbedded early on into his DNA. (He learned to program when he was only 8.) With more than 20 years’ experience as both entrepreneur and corporate leader, Chad adeptly guides business vision to reality and leads teams to success. Among other notable achievements, Chad owned and led a media company in Ukraine, headed a phone company and Internet service startup, and worked as a software development consultant for several companies. At the Chicago office of Epsilon, for example, he supported the successful rollout for Volkswagen, Honda and Ford user-stories to ensure project requirements were clearly identified and defined. Chad’s nearly 25 years as a software development engineer uniquely qualifies him to “walk the talk” – to extract client vulnerabilities and needs, develop a plan of protection, and then work with the EdgeDefence team to ensure every detail of the plan is realized. Chad knows .Net and JavaScript technologies, including .Net Core, ASP.NET Core, ASP.NET MVC, Node and GO.
