For many small and mid-sized businesses, technology can feel like a lifeline and a liability. Systems must run smoothly, cybersecurity threats must be managed, and compliance standards must be met—all without the benefit of an in-house IT department.
In 2013, Mike Bloomfield founded Tekie Geek to solve the challenge of using technology strategically and safely. The Staten Island, New York-based company provides comprehensive managed IT services and cybersecurity support to businesses across industries. Acting as a fully outsourced IT department, the firm helps organizations protect their data, modernize their technology, and develop their future digital infrastructure.
That commitment to innovation and service is why Tekie Geek was recognized as a 2025 honoree in the Tech Innovators category of the CO—100 Awards.
Becoming a trusted IT partner for growing businesses
Tekie Geek works primarily with small and mid-sized organizations operating in highly regulated sectors, such as healthcare, finance, legal services, and nonprofits, where cybersecurity and compliance are critical.
“Our team becomes your outsourced IT department, handling everything from day-to-day tech support to long-term strategic planning,” said Bloomfield.
For many clients, Tekie Geek serves as both a technical support provider and a strategic advisor, helping leaders understand how technology can support long-term growth. Rather than focusing solely on fixing problems after they occur, the company emphasizes proactive management and prevention. That includes services such as network monitoring, data backup, cloud migration, compliance management, and advanced cybersecurity protection.

Making technology accessible and understandable
One of Tekie Geek’s defining philosophies is education. The company believes technology works best when business owners fully understand how it supports their operations.
“We don’t just throw around technical jargon or push services clients don’t understand,” Bloomfield said. “We break it down, help them make informed decisions, and show them how technology can drive their business forward.”
That approach builds trust and helps businesses feel confident about the systems they rely on every day.
“We protect and empower businesses as the ‘IT Superheroes.’ Our brand isn’t just a slogan; it’s a mindset,” Bloomfield added. “We lead with a customer-first approach, acting as a true partner rather than just another vendor.”
By prioritizing clarity and communication, Tekie Geek transforms IT into a strategic business asset.

Innovating through automation and AI
As technology continues to evolve, Tekie Geek has embraced automation and artificial intelligence to improve both internal operations and client outcomes.
“By using AI to streamline internal workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and enhance cybersecurity monitoring, our team can focus on what really matters: solving complex problems, supporting our clients, and driving innovation,” Bloomfield explained.
Beyond using AI internally, Tekie Geek also educates clients on adopting these technologies responsibly and effectively. The company regularly trains businesses and community organizations on how AI can improve marketing, customer communication, and operational efficiency.
This dual focus on innovation and education helps businesses stay competitive in an increasingly digital world.

Building a culture of service and community
Technology expertise is only part of Tekie Geek’s identity. The company also prioritizes community support and service.
The team actively partners with local nonprofits and community organizations to provide both technical assistance and financial contributions. One unique initiative is Tekie Geek’s nonprofit giveback program, which donates 20% of all managed service fees directly back to the nonprofit they’re assisting each month.
“We’ve built community support into the foundation of our business,” Bloomfield said. “For us, giving back isn’t a checkbox—it’s a part of our DNA.”
Employees are also encouraged and compensated for their time away from work to volunteer at local events and nonprofit initiatives, reinforcing the company’s commitment to making a positive impact beyond the workplace. This community-first mindset has helped Tekie Geek build strong relationships and a reputation for reliability throughout the region.
Technology that works for people, not the other way around
Over the past decade, Tekie Geek has grown from a small IT provider into a nationally recognized managed services firm, earning industry accolades including a place on the MSP 501 list.
But for Bloomfield, the company’s mission remains simple: help businesses succeed through better technology decisions.
“We’ve built a reputation on consistency, reliability, and showing up when others don’t,” he said.
In a world where digital systems underpin nearly every operation, that kind of guidance is more valuable than ever.
