About Elton Wright

Serve others. Build teams. Lead well and succeed together!My career in the world of Information Technology\\Cybersecurity has been wonderful, albeit filled with many ups, downs, unknowns and surprises. Throughout this 25+ year journey, I have learned and experienced so much, for which I am grateful. While solving problems through technology is interesting, it is the personal relationships and building trust with others that has always motivated me. It took a great leap of faith to give up the \"console cable\" as my source of value for my clients to leading and building teams that embody these same principles, to accomplish more than I ever could as an individual. Whether as an individual contributor on the team or leader of the team, my passion is improving the lives of those I serve.
