"At SymbioSystems we take three of the greatest technology challenges for business: hardware, software, and support personnel - and turn them into a world class product and support system that meets the needs of business while significantly lowering IT expenditures." A native of Ireland, Bryan began his journey in the corporate IT world at the famous Guinness Brewery in Dublin almost 30 years ago. Developing a keen understanding of business culture and a greater sense of how to adapt technology to meet business needs, Bryan took his skills to the United Kingdom where he worked on the development team at the BBC World Service in London, and later at Christie's Auctioneers. After moving to the United States in 1992, he joined the IT management team at Science Applications International Corporation in San Francisco, before starting his consulting career at Fog City Networks (later Aethion Systems) where he met Julian Sutter. In 2002 he started JSi Networks, a provider of IT services in the San Francisco Bay Area, and in 2011 merged with SymbioSystems. |  |

"SymbioSystems represents power and efficiency for end users. By moving the power of the desktop to the Cloud, where it's easily accessible, supportable, and scalable, employees get the best of all worlds without having to drastically change the way that they go about their day-to-day tasks. I have been touting the advantages of this kind of computing for years, and I'm very excited to be a part of the company that is finally making it a reality." After receiving his degree in Information Systems Management from UC Santa Cruz, Evan went on to support clients in the investment banking industry while working for Aethion Systems Integration, LLC where he was head of the desktop support team. |  |
