About Paul Petro IO

I'm not new to Oahu. Before I ever ran an IT consulting practice, I served as a Marine Corps infantry officer stationed here from 1989 to 1994, commanding an infantry rifle company of 175 Marines and leading 45 of them through combat during Operation Desert Storm. This island isn't a market I picked off a map. It's a place I lived, served, and still care about.

After the Marine Corps, I spent the next three decades building a career across telecom, IT, and business analysis: planning network routes at Level 3 Communications so no single point of failure existed anywhere across the United States, leading DevOps and software development at Lumen on infrastructure handling 24 million requests per second, and founding and running my own data warehousing and business intelligence startup. Along the way I helped win a $45 million network transport contract, cut a two-year project backlog down to four months, and reduced alert noise on a national network by 90 percent.

Today, as a partner with OTG Consulting, I bring that same background, enterprise-scale technical depth backed by military discipline, to business owners here on Oahu, across the Hawaiian Islands, and on the mainland US who deserve the same level of support without the enterprise price tag or the runaround.
