Eric founded Astute Technology Management under the name Eric Madden Consulting in 1998 and has since overseen and directed the firm’s growth into the 16-person team it is today.
In addition to his duties as president of the company, Eric is involved in numerous charity and business ventures throughout the Columbus area. He’s also an avid golfer who enjoys playing local courses, and courses around the country.
Eric still considers himself a computer nerd who enjoys learning about all facets of technology (especially cybersecurity) and how to leverage technology to improve both his life and the lives of those around him.
His love for technology started when his father purchased him a Tandy 1000 computer, in the 90s which prompted him to pursue a B.S. in Computer Information Systems, from DeVry University.
Kane obtained multiple vendor certifications while honing his technology skills in college before teaming up with Eric to start building Astute Technology Management at the young age of 21 years old.
For the past 13 years, he’s worn several technical hats within the company, including virtual chief information officer (vCIO), defining the company’s service desk culture, and serving as a primary cybersecurity lead for businesses throughout Ohio.
He now uses his hands-on technical expertise in all aspects of Astute Technology Management, ensuring service quality and supporting our technical team. When he’s not thinking about business IT, he’s playing golf or traveling with his 3 children.
Aaron has been managing computer systems and IT help desks for over 20 years. He currently uses his experience as service manager at Astute Technology Management, heading the technical support staff to meet our service-level agreements and ensure customer service success.
In his free time, he enjoys writing music and coaching youth basketball, and spending time with his wife and two children. He’s also been involved in the Dancing for Life breast cancer fundraiser for over a decade and is passionate about cancer awareness.
Aaron holds a B.S. in Computer Information Science with a minor in telecommunication from Ohio State University.
Anna serves as the director of operations and sales, leading the human resources and financial functions of the company, while helping Astute find and hire the best talent for each role and guide its investments in marketing and promotions. In addition, she also plays a key part in the company’s front-line sales efforts.
Before joining the Astute Technology Management team in 2019, she worked in the healthcare and dentistry industries for 22 years as a treatment coordinator and clinical operations manager.
Scott has over 15 years of technical IT experience, which he uses to spearhead Astute Technology’s virtual chief information officer (vCIO) team. His job duties include helping guide our client’s IT strategy and roadmaps, ensuring that projects are completed on time and on budget, and ensuring that all our clients feel our commitment to win-win partnership.
He has many interests outside of technology. Scott is an active fundraiser for Pelotonia, a two-day bike ride in Columbus that raises funds for cancer research. He’s also an avid golfer who enjoys keeping Eric Madden on his toes.
"As our company has continued to grow we found that it was not cost effective to continue to try and do all of our own Network Administration and End User support for our employees. The team at Astute is always very friendly and give some of the best customer service around. I would highly recommend Astute for anyone looking to outsource their Network Administration and or End User support."
Joshua S.

"Our company was having consistent Internet connectivity issues which of course leads to productivity issues and expense. Astute Technology Management assessed our situation and needs then proposed a range of solutions for us to choose from that went beyond just Internet connectivity.
