MS, Todd D. Lyle

Todd D. Lyle is a servant leader.

Currently, he is researching his fourth book - Grounding the Cloud: The Magnificent Seven of Cyber Risk Control.

His fascination with the possibilities of accessible information technologies began when he was issued his first “laptop” while serving in a U.S. Army aviation regiment in South Korea. A bulky Zenith SuperSport 286 portable computer was his first brush with “mobile” computing.

Years later, having served in Bosnia as a Force Protection Officer, Lyle returned home and obtained a Master of Science in Risk Control from the University of Wisconsin Stout Graduate School. Shortly thereafter, he was offered a leadership position with a major technology company. It was while working at Microsoft that Lyle became interested in utility computing, commonly referred to as the cloud.

A decade later, Lyle founded Duncan Cloud Service Brokerage, a Shared Services cloud marketplace.

Today, when it comes to people using emerging technologies, Lyle draws on his military and private sector experiences to teach and talk about human behavior, organizational cultures, and operational best practices.
