David Clayton
Co-Founder. Managed IT and Security
Co-founder of ClayGen Consulting in Guelph, Ontario. David leads managed IT and security after two decades inside IT and operations, helping Ontario businesses run secure, reliable systems.
About David
David co-founded ClayGen Consulting in Guelph, Ontario with his brother, Brian Clayton, after twenty years inside the IT and MSP world, working directly with small and mid-size businesses across Ontario: infrastructure, security, helpdesk, and client operations across the stack.
The lesson from those years shaped how ClayGen operates: most IT problems are not technology problems, they are accountability problems. Tickets sit in queues. Vendors point at each other. The person paying the bill never gets a straight answer.
David leads engineering, security, and managed operations, so every part of your IT has one team that owns it and a direct line to him when something matters.
Together, Brian and David bring 25+ years of combined business systems experience to ClayGen. Read about Brian Clayton, or the ClayGen company story.
