Brooklyn's Progress
January 2005

Larry Zuckerberg is a franchise owner of CM IT Solutions, Inc., a franchise system that offers a wide array of IT services and solutions specifically designed for small and medium-sized businesses. CM IT Solutions of Brooklyn provides a one-stop technology partner for its clients, with capabilities ranging from computer set-up and troubleshooting to web conferencing, web hosting, wireless networking and data recovery.

Mr. Zuckerberg spent his entire career in the information technology world.  A graduate from Pennsylvania State University, He received his bachelor’s degree in Quantitative Business Analysis with an emphasis in Computer Science.  He worked for 22 years at JP Morgan Chase, where he was responsible for system design and development of customer information system processing, system design and development of ATM/Debit card processing, and service level management and analysis.  Mr. Zuckerberg decided to take his career outside of the bureaucracy often associated with large corporations, and try his hand at owning his own business.   With his IT experience and business knowledge, he selected to invest in a CM IT Solutions franchise because of CM IT’s vast array of expertise in many technical fields and alliances with formidable technology companies such as Dell, Symantec, and Intuit. The Brooklyn CM IT franchise opened in June and has experienced great success.  In addition to his involvement with CM IT, Mr. Zuckerberg leads small business seminars for graduate students at Pace University.  In his free time, he enjoys windsurfing and gardening.

After receiving helpful advice from Mike Rosenthal, Chamber Director of Good Help that provides quality candidates when new hiring needs arise, and Rick Russo, Chamber Vice President of Business Services, Mr. Zuckerberg experienced the positive effects of Chamber membership, and decided to join.

According to Mr. Zuckerberg, “The Chamber provides such a great opportunity to meet new people and network with other business owners.”  He has also recognized the Chamber’s role as an invaluable resource for Brooklyn business owners, as its span of knowledge, experience, and contacts far extends that of any individual.

Mr. Zuckerberg looks forward to growing his business, networking with the extensive membership of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, and servicing the IT needs of fellow business owners.
