Chris Mangano

Chris Mangano has been in the IT-solutions space since launching his first technology-advisory firm, upon graduating college. Throughout his career, Chris has built relationships based on helping / not “selling” clients; listening and genuinely understanding the customer’s challenge, then working collaboratively to develop a solution that’s communicated clearly. Outgoing and charismatic, Chris thrives in addressing an audience. With over 30 years of experience in the IT realm, Chris brings his industry to life. “Striving for progress, not perfection” is Chris’s motto and how he educates his clients and peers.

He enjoys taking a non-traditional approach by hosting Private Lunch Workshops (PLW). As a Strategic Alliance Executive with Witum’s Cybersecurity team, Chris develops and hosts these PLWs to educate companies on the services he and his team provide. Each workshop has a hand-picked audience for the given topic and is interactive / relaxed. It’s reassuring to know that the person educating you has been in your shoes.

As a former business principal, Chris understands the uncertainty his clients face. He managed sales, marketing, and operations for an IT company he co-founded and ran for ten years. Later, he ran Sales & Marketing for a mid-sized, regional business-advisory firm. Chris utilizes his past-experience to assist his clients in navigating the uncertainty in areas such as Cybersecurity, Risk-Management, Disaster-Recovery, and Network-Design / Implementation. Clients turn to Chris when they want an expert who has experienced these issues firsthand and is familiar with the nuances of each area. Chris is motivated by building relationships; he will educate you on the topics at hand, while continuing to act as a sounding board. He assists clients in determining their risks and vulnerabilities, while developing practical recommendations that meet operational goals aligned with budget.
