About Bethany Plaza

I\'ve built, scaled, and sold technology companies — managed P & Ls up to $100M, led post-acquisition integrations, and sat in the C-suite across cybersecurity, cloud, AI, and infrastructure. I\'ve made the exact decisions my clients are wrestling with today.That\'s what I bring to NexusTek\'s Advanced Solutions Group. As part of a CRN MSP Elite 150 organization, I work with mid-market and enterprise leaders to modernize infrastructure, reduce risk, and operationalize AI — not just talk about it. I\'ve been on your side of the table. I know what it means to inherit a legacy environment, defend a security posture to a board, or justify an AI investment to a CFO who wants ROI before Q3.Where I focus:Cloud & Hybrid Infrastructure — Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud migrations built for scale and resilience.Cybersecurity — Zero Trust, identity management, CMMC compliance, and pragmatic risk reduction.AI Strategy & Intelligent Managed Solutions — Moving organizations from AI curiosity to AI capability through NexusTek\'s AI Advise framework, grounded in real business outcomes.Modernized IT Transformation — Connecting technology investment to measurable operational performance.Inc. Award Winner. Founded multiple IT firms, including one acquired by a publicly traded company — 500% YoY growth,$30M+ revenue. Certified Business & Executive Coach. Transformation experience spans a multitude of commercial and government industries.That experience doesn\'t sit on a shelf — it shapes every conversation, every business case, every engagement.I\'m not here to pitch. I\'m here to solve.
