-- Chris Burns, CISSP, CEO and Co-founder of Techie Gurus, was recognized at the CXO 2.0 Conference with the “Business Leadership Excellence Award.” The global leadership summit was held from April 7–9, 2026, at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, bringing together senior executives, founders, and decision-makers focused on building resilient, future-ready organizations.
Chris Burns, CISSP, is the CEO and Co-founder of Techie Gurus, a cybersecurity-focused managed services provider he launched in 2008 with his wife Angie. With 20+ years in IT and cybersecurity, 40+ certifications, and experience spanning SMBs to Fortune 100, Chris helps CEOs and leadership teams secure the business, not just the network, and scale with confidence.
An InfraGard member, published author, and host of an IT, cybersecurity, and AI podcast, he has been featured on the cover of MSP Magazine. Chris was recently honored at the inaugural Leader in Managed IT Awards, where Techie Gurus received the “Midwest Award” for operational excellence and client impact.
Upon receiving the award, Chris shared, “Thanks to the CXO 2.0 Conference for the recognition. Leaders in Las Vegas told me what my clients tell me every week: you can't run a business in 2026 and treat cybersecurity as someone else's job. The CEOs winning right now have a partner who sits at both tables and helps them make the call when business and security collide. That's the work, and I'm glad it's being recognized.”
This recognition reflects Chris’s ongoing dedication to leadership excellence and his contributions to advancing effective business practices. His work continues to demonstrate a structured approach to growth while fostering a culture of innovation and responsibility.
