Centre Technologies

Chris Pace serves as CEO and founded the company in 2006. Strategic decisions, including M&A targeting and capital allocation, are led by Pace alongside the board, which includes representatives from the firm's institutional backers.

Centre Technologies is an operating company, not a family office. It generates revenue through managed IT and cybersecurity service contracts with mid-market enterprises, primarily in Texas. The firm does not manage outside capital as an investment vehicle.

The firm operates a buy-and-build roll-up strategy in the fragmented managed service provider sector, consolidating regional IT services firms and integrating them into a centralized platform. Institutional private equity backing supports this acquisition program, though specific backers are not publicly confirmed.

The firm primarily serves mid-market companies in energy, professional services, and healthcare across Texas and the Gulf Coast. Sector exposure is driven by Houston's economic base, where oil and gas, medical institutions, and legal firms are the dominant enterprises.

Client acquisition comes through two primary channels: direct sales to Texas-based mid-market businesses, and the acquisition of smaller IT service providers that bring existing client relationships. The firm positions itself as an outsourced IT department for companies without in-house technical leadership.
