Our guest Reginald “Andre” Andre is the dynamic founder and CEO of ARK Solvers. A chance encounter at a CompUSA store sparked a series of events which eventually created ARK Solvers—now one of South Florida’s fastest-growing IT and cybersecurity companies, serving small and mid-size companies with a sharp focus on compliance and innovation.

With nearly two decades of experience, Andre shares how his company has evolved from general IT support to cybersecurity and now into the realm of AI. He reveals how creating a growth-centered environment for his team—and hiring for attitude over skill—has been crucial to ARK’s culture and success. He also reflects on how his frustration with the lack of computer classes at his son’s school led to the launch of a computer club that brought them closer together.

In the Lifestyle Polygraph segment, Andre unpacks his AI-powered board of directors—which includes Steve Jobs and Grant Cardone—and what he’d do if tasked with launching a nationwide mentorship initiative. Plus, he urges students to get aggressive with internships: “Ask early and often.” Join hosts Jack Clabby of Carlton Fields, P.A., and resident cybersecurity expert Kayley Melton, founder of Reality Shift, for this exciting podcast.
