Florian Militaru serves as President & Founder at Protek-IT, a managed IT and cybersecurity provider in Chicago, IL, leading its work across Managed IT Services, Cybersecurity & Threat Protection, and Cloud Services & Migration.
Florian Militaru is the President and IT Consultant of Protek-IT, the Chicago IT services firm he founded. Born and raised in Romania, he gave up his French school plans in 2002 for a fresh start in the United States.
After many unsuccessful attempts to join a company as a computer technician, Florian taught himself web design and SEO and began doing home visits to help people with their computer issues, which is how the business started. He opened a small computer repair shop in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood, recovering lost files, fixing broken laptops, and helping neighbors, with no team and no startup money.
He built the company on honesty, consistency, and the belief that good work speaks for itself, a principle the firm says still guides how it operates today.
