Background

About Tim Conti

After nearly three decades navigating the vendor landscape, we founded ReadyNine, an enterprise technology consultancy based in Chicago, with one mission: to help technology and business leaders grow, lead, and win in today’s high-stakes digital economy. At ReadyNine, we work with executives who are under pressure to deliver—whether it's driving transformation, strengthening security posture, modernizing infrastructure, or simply making smarter technology bets. We provide the strategic insight and hands-on partnership to de-risk decisions, accelerate outcomes, and build credibility across the business. My background is rooted in strategic partnerships and one-to-many relationship building, creating momentum not just with clients but across entire ecosystems. I believe great partnerships are reciprocal—but I always lead with value. The strongest connections come from helping others hit their goals first. My domain expertise spans Cloud, Managed Services, Cybersecurity, Customer Experience, and Artificial Intelligence, with a focus on aligning technology strategy to business growth and organizational influence. Colleagues across the industry call me “the connector”—a name that stuck because I make it a point to know who can help, why it matters, and how to bring the right people together at the right time. When I’m not working with executives to scale their impact, I’m spending time with my family, on the golf course, at a game or concert, or discovering a great bottle of wine. Are You Ready?
