Welcome To Lepore And Associates
Formed in 2010 and drawing on decades of our experiences as faculty members and administrators, our team will help you establish your priorities, from strategic to operational, and make sure that your organization fulfills those priorities efficiently and effectively. Our combined experience covers the depth, breadth, and scope of the operation of institutions of higher education, including nonprofit, for-profit, private and public, academic medical centers and other specialized institutions.
We can quickly assemble a team to address the unique requirements of your institution. You may need us to perform an analysis of existing conditions and prepare a report with suggestions and priorities; provide temporary supplemental staffing; train or mentor key employees; or assist in identifying key employees for changes in responsibilities. Whether your need is for short-term projects or long-term programming, our associates will work with you to increase effectiveness and control costs. In our collective experience, we have made technology pay its way, developed, recruited and trained staff, completed capital campaigns, developed new revenue streams, led academic reform and growth, and launched successful online programs.
What We Do
Technology Assessments
Today's technology is creating increased demand and changes in the expectations, consumption, and delivery of services. In addition, technology that was new ten or more years ago has become obsolete and requires investment to replace or renew.
IT Security Posture And Planning
There isn’t a more important function of IT today than information security. With security breaches, malware and ransomware attacks, and intrusions on information privacy at all time highs it is critical to assess the current IT security program.
Customer Says
Always forward thinking, Pat worked with administrators and faculty leadership to build a new ITS governance structure that rationalizes technology operations across the campus. On top of all that, he has built strong, mentoring relationships with faculty and ITS staff as we navigated tricky technology and governance issues.
Bill Nancarrow
Faculty Chair, Curry College
Pat possesses a deep functional and strategic knowledge of the higher education space. Based on his professional assessment he was able to guide and improve the IT department on areas in need of strengthening. With his leadership he has positioned us to be more meaningful contributors to the institution.

"We could not have been happier with the leadership Jerry DeSanto provided EDUCAUSE serving as CIO in 2018. He brought leadership vision, management expertise, and a remarkable combination of listening and action that was exactly what we needed. Jerry has broad experience that extends well beyond traditional IT areas, and it makes him exceptionally valuable."
