Meet our Flockstars

Gradient is continuing to add stellar talent to the flock so that we can keep the momentum going by providing opportunity, choice, and value to the IT channel.

Tim Coach

Director, Kickass MSP

Tim Coach possesses a wealth of knowledge when it comes to successfully running an MSP. He is an army veteran with several years of experience in the MSP space, occupying nearly every role. He not only understands what owners are trying to accomplish but the more technical requirements needed to achieve their goals.

Tim has helped many companies across a broad spectrum to build or rebuild their businesses. He is deeply committed to working with business leaders to help turn their vision into reality.

He is putting his vast experience to work at Gradient MSP as its flockstar Director of Kick-Ass MSP where he shares his expertise with the members of his team and the channel, through his participation in various high-profile industry events. He is helping to shift the focus away from just the numbers to allow for a more holistic approach, or as he puts it, “Our industry is one of numbers and that is primarily how we are measured. The reality, at least in my world is that real results stem from the success of the people and culture, the happier the staff and culture of the company, the better the experience for the client and the numbers tend to take care of themselves.”

Tim is living up to his name by coaching many within the IT channel. He will soon be taking his coaching to new levels with the forthcoming launch of Kickass MSP. Exciting new updates on this initiative will be announced in the coming weeks—stay tuned.
