Todd Chocholaty – Principal

Meet Todd — our resident cost-crushing, value visionary with a knack for making the impossible look like just another Tuesday. With a staggering 35 years of leadership and information systems management experience, Todd has seen it all, fixed it all, and probably saved someone a fortune while doing it.

Todd’s business philosophy is as sharp as his wit: Cut the fluff, double the value. His mission? Help clients save big while safeguarding what matters most — their business-critical assets. If it’s bloated, inefficient, or outdated, Todd’s already got his eyes on it with a plan to streamline, simplify, and supercharge it.

From Fortune 10 giants to your local mom-and-pop shop, Todd’s impact is felt everywhere. He’s guided companies big and small to slash IT costs while rolling out solutions that actually work.

But here’s where it gets really interesting: Todd’s superpower isn’t just systems and strategy — it’s people. With a natural instinct for optimizing teams and processes, he’s the guy who’ll take your “good enough” and turn it into “wow, that’s brilliant.”

Fast forward to today, and Todd’s taken his vision to the next level. As founder and principal of Cyber Simplified, he’s built a fully remote powerhouse — no pricey office space required. Why? Because the best way to preach cost efficiency is to live it. No overhead, no waste, and absolutely no unnecessary expenses. Just value, value, and more value.

His career resume reads like a greatest hits album. Multi-million dollar business launches? Check. Hands in several successful cybersecurity startups? You bet. Adventurer? Of course. If you’re still not impressed, consider his personal motto: “If you don’t come see me, I can’t save you any money.”

Intrigued? You should be. Todd’s the kind of leader who’s just as comfortable in a boardroom as he is unraveling complex IT issues.
