TED PAPPAS

My name is Ted Pappas.  I’m middle aged, married almost two decades, and have 3 children.  I work for a technology start-up that focused on reducing costs in the data center and bridging the IT talent gap.  I am responsible for the continued growth and scaling of the business, driving the commercial strategy, and leading the world-class engineering, product, and customer operations teams.

On the outside, I am the stereotype of what suburbia is, but things haven’t always been that way.  I grew up in a low-income area, struggled with weight until my 30’s, and have pushed every limit of “normal” in all aspects what I do.

I don’t believe in “trying,” and I don’t subscribe to “ordinary.”  That said, I believe “doing,” and “extraordinary” are only achievable through gratitude and service.  This is my platform to express it.

Be grateful for what you have, not what you want.  Goodwill is contagious.  Let’s go spread it.
