Michael Paradise is founder & CEO of Sysazzle, Inc (Business & Information Technology systems). Michael’s experience in the business, non-profit and government sectors has helped Sysazzle become an Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Company and a Tech Serve Alliance Industry Excellence Award. Michael’s unique path to CEO of a respected, growing information technology staffing firm has been a major factor in Sysazzle’s success.
Over the past 28 years, Michael has personally accompanied and provided logistical, event and travel support for President Clinton, Mrs. Obama, Dr. Biden, Vice-President Gore, and other high-ranking government officials and their families during domestic and international travels. Michael’s meticulous planning, “can-do” attitude, proven results and trustworthiness subsequently led to his joining the largest association of information technology staffing companies, based in Washington, D.C., where he helped affect government policy on the major issues facing the technology industry: wage and hour laws, immigration, employment taxes and independent consulting, technology education investments, and similar issues.
Michael’s broad understanding of the technology industry, and his results-driven approach, led to several offers by company executives to work in that industry, and in 2000 he joined a start-up venture founded by alumni of Network Solutions (the original domain registry company) and funded by NEA. Within a couple of years Michael moved to California and became a top producer at an information technology firm serving the entertainment, healthcare, financial services industries.
In 2008, Sysazzle was created as an information technology services company to help clients develop and maintain information technology SYStems that dAZZLE — resulting in Sysazzle. The Sysazzle team brings the same excellent level of service to information technology clients that Michael demonstrated throughout his career — to The White House and to high-level government officials who still call upon him to plan domestic and overseas trips for them.
This combination of experience and skills, and the ability to deliver results, distinguishes Michael and Sysazzle in the highly competitive information staffing industry.
He holds an MBA, in Technology Products and Services from American University – Kogod School of Business.
