Ted Takvorian

President & Chief Executive Officer

Ted co-founded Takgio in October 2025 to bring production-grade AI products to construction, legal, education and entertainment. Before Takgio, he founded System Software Group and led it as Chief Executive Officer for 20 years — a Chicago-headquartered IT consulting firm with offices in New York City, Orlando, Dallas and San Francisco, delivering cloud migration, cybersecurity and enterprise software to mid-sized businesses in finance, healthcare 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. At Takgio he leads product strategy and development — every product is built with Claude.
