A question CEO Marissa Maldonado has been striving to fulfill since joining forces with brother and CTO, Carlos Maldonado, over a decade ago. Determined to flip the script and change the world of IT, it’s no surprise the Maldonado sibling duo used this inspiration to build an award-winning firm that’s grown solely as a result of their reputation.

Proda Technology was born more than 25 years ago when talented engineer, Carlos, was working out of his basement to establish a business in the residential and commercial space of Atlanta. In 2011, the vision shifted as Marissa offered her consulting expertise upon exiting business school. The mutual trust and respect between the two ignited a shared desire to act on their cornerstone philosophy of improving the dialog around technology. Today, Proda shines in the services of cyber security and compliance regulations, while equally emphasizing the importance of exceptional customer service and a strong team environment. The family affair has since then extended even further as they welcomed brother Danny Maldonado to the team in 2020.

Hyper focused on their core values, relationships with clients, and serving as a destination employer for engineers, Proda is proud to be recognized as Cobb Chamber’s 2022 Woman- Owned Business of the Year and 2022 Small Business of the Year. Their genuine devotion for clients coupled around their experienced engineering has equipped them to become a leader in the managed IT industry. Always looking out for the clients’ best interest, the Proda team differentiates themselves serving as business advisors first, then providing supportive technology solutions second – all while maintaining the soul of the company.
