Don Sauer
Cofounder & CEO
Don Sauer is the Chief Executive Officer and EOS Integrator of Teal. With over 30 years of IT experience, he brings an unmatched perspective and a proven ability to align technology strategy with business outcomes.
His career began in the U.S. Navy, where he worked on computer-controlled weapons systems and gained hands-on experience with mission-critical technology.
From there, Don built a career spanning every corner of the IT landscape – from startups to global enterprises, and across both the public and private sectors. Each role presented unique challenges, sharpening his ability to design and deploy solutions that meet the distinct needs of any business or organization.
In 2010, Don and longtime colleague Gar Whaley founded Aligned Technology Solutions after recognizing the need for a more responsive and security-minded managed services provider. Their first client remains a valued partner today, a reflection of Don’s belief in building lasting client relationships through reliability and trust.
In 2023, he and Gar merged their MSP with Reid Johnston’s TechGen Consulting.
As CEO, Don applies EOS principles to keep Teal aligned, accountable, and positioned for sustainable growth. His focus on clarity, execution, and long-term vision ensures the organization delivers consistent value to clients while empowering Teal’s teams to innovate and thrive.
