What happens when a town’s mayor also leads an IT consultancy built to supercharge small organizations? We sit down with Joe McGuire, Northvale’s mayor and chief solutions and revenue officer at MTMG, to explore how smart partnerships, clear outcomes, and community focus can transform both city blocks and business backbones.
Joe breaks down MTMG’s four-pillar model—fractional CIO and project leadership, technology sourcing, revenue growth for MSPs, and cybersecurity and compliance—and explains the vendor-paid approach that keeps clients from footing the bill for discovery and matchmaking. You’ll hear how his years in wireless and channel sales shaped a “many tools, one goal” philosophy, why MSPs and boutique IT firms can scale faster through collaboration, and how right-fit providers beat one-size-fits-all platforms.
We also dive into Northvale’s evolution: industrial spaces turning into sports hubs, the reality of state-driven affordable housing, and the push to upgrade parks like Hogan’s Field and Veterans Park. Joe shares local updates, from the closure of a beloved climbing facility to a proposed high-end shooting range, and unpacks demographic shifts including a growing Korean community and an influx of post-COVID movers drawn by the NVOT school district. Community shows up in the details—tree lighting festivities, winter village vibes, and food pantry support at St. Anthony’s and Wholsome Pantry—backed by a reminder that need exists even in well-regarded suburbs.
If you’re a business owner navigating cybersecurity, mobility, or cloud decisions, or a resident curious about where your town is headed, this conversation offers grounded takeaways.
