Alexandros Benjou

Empowering non-profit organizations through technology initiatives, Alex Benjou has an extensive background in information technology with a focus on nonprofit organizations. He has spent most of his career in the nonprofit and education sectors, serving as a leader in information technology. Throughout his IT career, Alex has held various technical roles, which have honed his skills for his managerial positions.

As an IT Business Manager (ITBM), Alex guides clients through complex implementation of effective technology investments and utilizing efficient IT services in direct support of their missions. He also assists with long-term planning, budgeting, and strategic goals.

The Community IT ITBM service provides an outsourced IT manager to clients at a reduced cost to hiring and having an IT manager on staff. These managers are a resource dedicated to matching technology solutions to clients’ business needs. To do this well requires an ongoing conversation with the client to continually understand their business needs, and then effective communication with client staff and leadership about the ways specific technology solutions can meet those business needs and how to budget for technology.

The ITBM makes recommendations on IT investments, training programs, maintenance, and licenses. They help the client be forward-looking, and act as a vendor-agnostic, trusted advisor with deep knowledge of the nonprofit IT software and platforms available. Because Community IT works in partnership with clients to manage long-term IT needs, the ITBM relationship with the client makes them a true asset.

Before joining Community IT, Alex held several managerial positions at leading schools nationwide, primarily focusing on building equity through technology. In his personal time, Alex enjoys skateboarding, writing music, and spending time with his family.
