Dale Hurteau
With thirty years of IT experience, Dale Hurteau started in IT Supplemental Staffing and quickly moved to a business development role in ITAD Managed Services, developing IT asset disposition solutions for Fortune 500 companies. In 2001, he had a telecom client with a new type of service request: onsite data destruction. Working with a trusted vendor, Dale simultaneously solved the client’s problem and was instrumental in the formation of Guardian Data Destruction. Dale went on to form Ideas Group IT, a regional ITAD company focused on data centers and processing idle IT assets for businesses ranging from SMB to Fortune 50. After 10+ successful years, Dale returned to Guardian in 2021 to focus on large-scale and complex enterprise data center projects including decommissioning, lift and shift and secure IT transit. When he’s not onsite for a project or sitting at his desk, you’ll find Dale on a Michigan golf course.
