Evan Leonard, Chief Executive Officer, CrushBank Technology
Evan Leonard is CEO and co-founder of CrushBank Technology. Prior to starting CrushBank, Leonard co-founded a leading Managed Services Provider (MSP) based in Long Island, NY, where he was President and CEO for thirty years. Always the technology entrepreneur at heart, Leonard engineered the sale of CHIPS Technology Group (his MSP) in October of 2022 to a large, Private Equity backed MSP to focus his time and energy on CrushBank. Evan oversees the company’s operations and company vision and provides strategic leadership to the entire organization. He has over 20 years of experience leading companies in the tech industry and has a track record of successfully driving growth and innovation, building strong teams, and delivering value to the IT community.
Evan started his first company with his business partner immediately after graduating Hofstra University in 1993. The idea to create CrushBank grew out of the frustration of watching IT support techs search for information and solve problems inconsistently. CrushBank, built on top of IBM’s cutting-edge Watson platform, was purpose built to address and solve these problems, as well as make the wide-range of tasks every IT Team must perform more reliable, consistent, and most importantly, automate. The result is a better behaved, more profitable organization for CrushBank clients, who can leverage the power of AI to scale and grow their business like never before.
Evan is a sought-after speaker and industry expert who has given talks and participated in expert panels at several industry conferences, sharing his expertise on topics around technology innovation, business optimization, leadership and growth strategies. He is widely recognized as one of the leading voices in the MSP industry and has been featured in several industry publications and on videos and podcasts.
