MSP Owner & Speaker

IT should be about people, not just technology.

About

A technician's path to founder

Jeff Zimbalist is the CEO and Founder of Applied Technology Solutions LLC, launched in 2010. He started in IT 26 years ago as a technician, later managing internal IT for a K-12 school district before building his own company.

That path shaped a simple philosophy: IT should be focused on people, not just technology. It's the lens Jeff brings to leading his team, serving clients, and speaking on cybersecurity and HIPAA compliance — grounded in a habit of lifelong learning.
