Mike Psenka
President and CEO

Mike Psenka founded eThority in 1992, just one year after he graduated from Princeton University with a Bachelor’s Degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering. Immediately after graduation, Mike spent a year as a consultant for financial systems in the Information Technology division of Price Waterhouse.

Mike developed eThority on the premise that there is a significant disconnect between the vision of technologists and the needs of the customer.The organization began as a boutique consultancy serving the specific needs of higher education and health care customers. However, over time, Mike realized that the solutions eThority was designing for these specific markets had a broader appeal.

Under Mike’s leadership over the past 16 years, eThority has refined its ability to consolidate complex disparate data systems into usable, accessible information. Mike has focused a great deal of passion toward providing a “user-obvious” enterprise application.
