Hitesh Patel is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of WPG Consulting, a premier Managed Service Provider (MSP) based in New York City.
With over 15 years of experience in professional services and engineering consulting, Hitesh established WPG Consulting in 2014 alongside co-founder Francis Walsh. His mission was to bring enterprise-grade reliability to the SMB market. Under his leadership, the firm has adopted a robust “Bi-Coastal” delivery model, leveraging a wholly-owned subsidiary in India (Walsh Patel Group) to provide true 24/7 support while maintaining local accountability in the US.
Leadership & Vision:
Newark Tech Advocate: Hitesh is a vocal champion of the Newark, NJ technology ecosystem. He frequently writes and speaks about the city’s “Tech Renaissance,” positioning WPG as a key partner for growing businesses in the New Jersey innovation corridor.
Strategic Outsourcing: Moving beyond the “break-fix” model, Hitesh advises clients on Strategic Infrastructure Outsourcing, helping them reduce operational overhead while improving cybersecurity posture.
Global Scale, Local Touch: By managing a dedicated team of over 30 Cisco Certified Engineers across two continents, Hitesh ensures that WPG clients receive the scalability of a global firm with the personal attention of a local partner.
“Companies that blindly outsource IT without understanding the risks often end up spending more on fixing what they thought they had solved.”
Newark’s tech renaissance isn’t just a hopeful vision, it’s already well underway.
