We handle IT.
You handle your business.
Black Star Solutions is a technology consulting firm. We work with businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and growing organizations that need real technology leadership and execution — without the overhead of building an in-house department.
Why we exist
Most small and mid-sized organizations reach a point where technology becomes too complex to manage on the side — but not complex enough to justify a full-time IT director at $150K+ a year. That gap is where organizations get into trouble: systems go unmanaged, security risks accumulate, and nobody's thinking strategically about what comes next.
Black Star Solutions was built to close that gap. We bring senior-level IT leadership and project management to organizations on a flexible, contract basis — with the depth and accountability of an in-house team, at a fraction of the cost. We serve businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and community organizations. On-site, remote, or wherever the work takes us.
How we work
On-site when it matters
Some work requires being in the room. We travel for infrastructure deployments, team onboarding, and high-stakes projects that benefit from physical presence.
Remote by default
Most ongoing IT management, strategy, and support happens remotely — so geography isn't a barrier. We've worked with clients across the US and internationally.
Long-term relationships
We get to know your environment and stay in it. That means fewer handoffs, faster response, and a team that understands your history before something breaks.
Leadership
Our leadership team is backed by a network of technology specialists, implementation partners, and subject matter experts across disciplines. Below are the principals who lead client engagements and set the direction for the firm.
Nick brings 12+ years of hands-on IT experience across enterprise environments, managed service providers, nonprofits, real estate, and small business. He founded Black Star Solutions in 2022 after a career building and running IT infrastructure across multiple industries — from standing up environments from scratch to leading cloud migrations, stabilizing legacy systems, and serving as the single point of technical accountability for organizations across sectors.
His background spans Microsoft 365, Azure, cybersecurity, networking, VoIP, infrastructure, and web development, with additional experience leveraging AI to streamline operations and modernize workflows.
Julian brings nearly a decade of experience growing technology organizations through partnerships, enterprise accounts, and market development. At Alarm.com, he managed a channel partner network spanning 1,600+ partners across multiple regions and led strategic growth across commercial enterprise accounts — working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and AI teams to scale recurring revenue.
Most recently Strategic Account Manager at CallRail, Julian drives how Black Star Solutions develops client relationships and expands into new markets. A graduate of Dartmouth College, he is also an author and SAG-AFTRA member.
