Ted co-founded Takgio in October 2025 to bring production-grade AI products to construction, legal, education and entertainment.

In July 2025 SSG was acquired by Bechtle AG, one of Europe’s leading IT service providers, and Ted went on to serve as a consulting member of the board of directors at Bechtle Schweiz AG.
