IT consulting professional to extend presence in Sacramento and beyond  

Bridgepointe Technologies (“Bridgepointe” or the “Company”), a tech advisory firm that helps mid-market and enterprise companies bridge the gap between tech investments and business results, today announced Tony Garbarino as its newest Partner.

Garbarino is an experienced IT consulting professional focusing on mid-size to enterprise clients with data center, network, cloud, collaboration, and security. He joined Bridgepointe six years ago and has built an extensive client base with a concentration in California and beyond.

“Tony has been one of our hardest working and most dedicated Strategists, and we’re pleased to be able to reward that by adding him as a Partner,” shared Brian Miller, Chief Revenue Officer and Co-Founder, Bridgepointe Technologies. “He shows what’s possible for enterprise sales professionals who want to leave their 9-to-5 and build something for themselves using our unparalleled brand and resources.”

Bridgepointe provides qualified sales professionals with a start-up investment, which Garbarino leveraged to start his IT consulting firm. These investments are designed to help de-risk the process of starting a business, and Bridgepointe provides hands-on support for Strategists at every step of their journey. Before his time with Bridgepointe, Garbarino spent time at TelePacific Communications and Synetic Technologies, supporting clients with their technology requirements.

“Bridgepointe’s culture is second to none, and I’m thrilled to be joining today as a Partner,” said Tony Garbarino, Partner, Bridgepointe Technologies. “From sales engineering to the leadership team, I’ve been supported, and more importantly, my clients have been supported in a way that ensures success. The entire team is devoted to helping clients make quicker, more informed decisions about their tech investments and helping them drive value from investments that much faster.”  

Since an equity investment from Charlesbank Partners in January 2022, Bridgepointe has rapidly grown its roster of Partners and Managing Partners, which is designed to reward top-performing Strategists for their contributions to the firm.
