Karl Houston

Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Karl Houston has been a minority business owner instrumental in the success of his clients and associates for decades. Formerly with ADP, Syntrex, International Network Services and Lucent Technologies, Karl has developed a strength of leadership and an expertise in strategic development that empowers the individuals and organizations working for him and with him. He is known for growing small teams with unique skill sets into well-synchronized, high-performance pods comprised of individuals -- engineers, technicians, managers, installers -- with varying knowledge and skill sets. Karl values delivering "exceptional" and embraces the subjectivity and intentional incompleteness of the statement. He says, "Exceptional is not an action item. It is a mindset with a 360 degree view. It is complex. It’s the individual and leadership working alongside and in the best interest of the customer."
