ADNET Technologies

Co-founder Christopher J. Luise is the senior executive leading ADNET’s overall direction. Edward D. Laprade, the other co-founder, remains as Senior Advisor. Day-to-day operations are overseen by an Executive Leadership Team that includes SVP of Operations Mike Konderwich and two General Managers — Erin Peterson in Rocky Hill and Daniel Bardin in Albany — who are responsible for their respective offices’ client and technical delivery. Information on any external investment board or private equity involvement in New Charter Technologies is not disclosed publicly.

Since 2021, ADNET has operated as a portfolio company of New Charter Technologies, a national platform that aggregates regional managed services providers. Under this structure, ADNET maintains its own brand, local leadership, and client-facing teams while accessing shared resources, collective technology procurement, and a peer network of other MSP operators. This is not a merger into a single operating company but a platform model in which ADNET’s co-founders and general managers continue to run the local business.

ADNET does not disclose a client list and does not break out its customer base by industry vertical in publicly available materials. The firm markets generally to organizations that require managed IT, cloud, and cybersecurity services within its Connecticut and New York footprint. Whether it serves financial services firms, family offices, or institutional investors is not publicly confirmable from the firm’s own disclosures.

ADNET is not a family office and does not manage a portfolio of private equity investments. It is an operating company providing technology services on contract. The entity profile being surfaced is relevant for a family office that might evaluate ADNET as a service provider for its own IT infrastructure, cybersecurity posture, or cloud migration, not as an investment vehicle.

ADNET promotes a dedicated cybersecurity practice supported by a SOC 2 Type II compliance certification, indicating it has undergone an audit over a period of time covering its security controls. The firm also references high-level certifications held by its team members. Its cybersecurity services are delivered as part of the managed services stack, meaning they are likely bundled with continuous network monitoring, endpoint management, and incident response rather than sold purely as standalone consulting engagements. Specific frameworks beyond SOC 2 are not detailed on the public website.
