Christopher Hoffman

Founder & Managing Partner

Christopher has spent more than two decades protecting the systems businesses run on, and leads 3nerds Technology Group as Managing Partner. His focus is security, compliance and risk: hardening environments, closing exposures before they are found by anyone else, and keeping organizations ready for audit as regulatory expectations tighten. He also advises leadership on security posture, information governance, virtual CIO strategy and technology alignment — so that a resilient technology foundation supports growth rather than trailing behind it.
