Corporate Biographies

Mr. Marwan Baya, cofounder/managing partner, leads development of customized technical architecture and operations for client data migration engagements.

Mr. Baya has over fifteen years of experience in architecting and managing the implementation of technology infrastructure solutions in multiple industries. He has focused primarily on storage solutions, data center management, network architecture, security and major IT programs highlighting service delivery and support.

Mr. Baya started as a Principal Consultant at Technology Solutions Company, where he grew into the Data Center Operations Manager for TSC's extended support ASP hosting practice for ERP applications, and then accepted the CIO position, with emphasis on delivering IT service and support to over 300+ delivery consultants. As an entrepreneur and envisioning next-generation IT delivery, Mr. Baya created Kou Solutions in 2006, a professional services organization specializing in IT business alignment through virtualization and optimization services in the SMB space.

During the late nineties, Mr. Baya served as practice lead for the Network and Security group of CIBER Consulting. He helped develop and expand the security practice from 3 to 20 consultants, focusing on wireless and perimeter security. In 1994, he served as Network and Retail Systems Support Manager for Factory Card Outlet. This opportunity was especially challenging as information and retail store systems were implemented from the ground-up for the 50 retail store group that later grew to a publicly traded company spanning 140+ retail stores across the U.S.

Mr. Baya holds degrees in Accounting and Management Information Systems from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
