IT evangelist

Lori Sechio likes to think of herself as “Chief Evangelist,” rather than chief executive officer. Her LinkedIn profile says, “Making the world a better place one ITAM (IT asset management) solution at a time.”

Sechio founded her Tampa-based IT asset management firm, TekMethods, more than 13 years ago. Working with companies that have more than 2,000 PCs, TekMethods helps manage the complete life cycle of their IT assets, such as hardware and software.

“I'm an evangelist because you can liberate huge amounts of capital and dramatically reduce your business risk” through asset management, Sechio says. “I get to go in there and ultimately be a hero.”
