Kyle Burt
I spent 20 years inside the IT and telecom industry. I have sat across the table from thousands of IT leaders, and the same problems keep showing up: too many vendors, too much noise, not enough clarity. I built Catch Advisors to fix that.
My career started at AT&T where I earned Diamond Club, the company's elite recognition for top performers. From there I went deep into unified communications, contact center design, and solutions architecture before founding a customer experience business where Omni Hotels was our largest client.
After exiting that business, I spent two years training intensively on cybersecurity, building frameworks following Sounil Yu's Cyber Defense Matrix. Since then I have tested and leveraged every major AI model and platform available in a continuous quest to adapt faster, make better decisions, and help the people I work with do the same.
Help IT leaders excel at work, remove pain, cut through the noise, stay relevant, and win for their company.
Technology moves fast. Vendors multiply. Budgets tighten. I believe every IT leader deserves a trusted advisor who knows the landscape, has zero vendor bias, and is obsessed with finding the right answer, not the easy one.
What I Bring to the Table
My background spans the full IT stack. I have designed phone systems, architected networks, built cybersecurity frameworks, and deployed AI solutions. That breadth means I can see the whole picture, not just one piece of it.
Unified Communications
Phone systems, UCaaS, contact center, and collaboration platforms. 20 years of hands-on experience designing and deploying voice and communications solutions for businesses of every size.
Cybersecurity
Two years of intensive training building cyber frameworks using Sounil Yu's Cyber Defense Matrix. From endpoint protection to zero trust architecture, I help organizations close gaps and meet compliance requirements.
AI and Automation
I have tested, tried, and leveraged every major AI model and service available in my continuous quest to adapt faster, make smarter decisions, and transform how businesses operate. I help IT leaders separate hype from value.
Cloud and Networking
SD-WAN, MPLS, fiber, multi-cloud strategy, and everything in between. I help organizations design resilient, high-performance infrastructure that scales with their business.
Customer Experience
Built and exited a CX business where Omni Hotels was our largest client. I understand the intersection of technology and customer experience from the inside out.
Telecom and Cost Optimization
Most businesses overpay by 20-40% on telecom. My background in carrier services means I know where the waste hides. I audit, renegotiate, and right-size IT spend so every dollar works harder.
From AT&T to Advisor
Every chapter of my career taught me something different. Telecom taught me how networks really work. CX taught me what customers actually care about. Cybersecurity taught me what keeps executives up at night. AI taught me what is possible when you stop waiting and start building.

Launched Catch Advisors to help IT leaders adapt faster and transform smarter
Adapt Faster. Decide Smarter. Transform Now.
The IT landscape is more complex than it has ever been. Every week there is a new platform, a new acronym, a new vendor claiming to be the answer. IT leaders are expected to evaluate all of it while keeping the lights on, protecting the business, and delivering projects on time and under budget.
I do not believe in long RFPs that take months to produce a recommendation nobody trusts. I believe in cutting through the noise, leveraging relationships with 600+ technology providers, and getting IT leaders to the right answer in days, not quarters.
Catch Advisors exists because I believe technology decisions should not be driven by whoever has the best sales team. They should be driven by data, experience, and a clear understanding of what your business actually needs. That is what I bring to every engagement.
Stay ahead of technology shifts before they become emergencies.
Make confident technology decisions backed by data and real-world experience.
Turn strategy into action and build an IT environment that drives business results.
