ABOUT MATTHEW CHECHE

I’m an IT infrastructure and security leader with more than 20 years of experience modernizing environments, building strong teams, and stabilizing critical systems across legal, healthcare, manufacturing, and multi-site organizations. My work has consistently centered on making technology more reliable, secure, and aligned with the business, whether that involves cloud transformation, datacenter modernization, or rebuilding systems after major incidents.I lead with a practical, hands-on approach, but I pair it with long-term strategy. I enjoy taking complex environments with technical debt, operational gaps, or legacy platforms and turning them into scalable, resilient, and secure ecosystems. I work closely with CIOs, COOs, and department leaders to define priorities and build clear roadmaps, and then I guide engineering, infrastructure, and security teams through execution.My experience covers:Cloud & Hybrid Architecture: Azure, M365, governance, identity, cloud modernizationOn-Prem Infrastructure: datacenter design, virtualization, networking, storage, lifecycle managementSecurity: SOC integration, hardening, segmentation, incident recovery, Zero Trust fundamentalsResiliency: disaster recovery planning, backup strategy, and operational recovery after high impact eventsLeadership: restructuring teams, improving processes, managing vendors, and strengthening collaboration across IT and the businessI’m driven by building stable foundations, simplifying complexity, and helping teams operate with clarity and confidence.
