Bill Monreal Headshot WEBP

Bill Monreal, CEO

 

A distinguished figure in the technology and cybersecurity landscape, Bill Monreal boasts an illustrious career spanning three decades. After attending The University of Akron, he embarked on his professional journey as a systems and network engineer. In 2001, driven by a vision rooted in unwavering principles of commitment, accountability, teamwork, integrity, and quality, Bill established Monreal IT – formerly Monreal Consulting.

Bill built his team of professionals and won his first network architecture project, a 6-year engagement, with a collaborative commerce venture originally between GM, Ford, Chrysler, and Bell & Howell. As the years passed, Bill was able to bring on Fortune 500 clients from all over the US and Monreal engaged in its first international project in 2007, refreshing infrastructure and security assets for the world’s largest clothing retailer at the time. While these projects were a feather in the cap for Bill, he longed to make a difference with SMBs in the Cleveland area. As time passed, Bill shifted his focus to that very demographic.
