Meet Zenon Piotrowski, owner of CMIT Solutions of Pittsburgh South. After more than 30 years leading technology initiatives and growing enterprise businesses at companies like IBM, Zen made the leap into entrepreneurship to build a managed IT services business focused on helping SMBs navigate cybersecurity, operational risk, and emerging technologies like AI.
Since launching his business in 2017, Zen has combined enterprise-level expertise with a practical, business-first approach to managed IT services. From helping businesses strengthen incident response planning and cybersecurity protections to guiding organizations through secure AI adoption, he has become a trusted technology advisor for clients across Pittsburgh and beyond.
In a recent conversation Zen shared his insights on:
• Why SMBs still underestimate cybersecurity risks
• The real impact of ransomware attacks on businesses
• How MSPs can help organizations embrace AI securely
• The growing importance of AI use policies and governance
• How collaboration across the CMIT Solutions network helped support multi-location national clients
A strong advocate for preparation and resilience, Zen emphasizes one critical takeaway for every business owner: “If you’re not paying attention to AI, you’re going to be left behind. But you have to do it right.”
