Behind the Tech: Daniel Sakow’s Journey and the Vision Behind 619 IT

Our CEO Daniel Sakow was recently interviewed by SDVoyager, read below to learn more.

From launching his IT career at just 16 during the dot-com boom to leading one of San Diego’s top managed service providers, Daniel Sakow’s path has always been fueled by innovation, community, and resilience.

Daniel, a San Diego native and founder of 619 IT, began working in tech while still in high school, later earning his degree from San Diego State University. His early exposure to the fast-paced world of Sorrento Valley’s tech scene laid the groundwork for a career marked by adaptability and forward thinking.

At the heart of 619 IT is a commitment to cybersecurity, managed IT solutions, and tailored support for businesses of all sizes. Daniel took calculated risks — like shifting the company’s focus to cybersecurity early on — that now position 619 IT as a trusted partner for clients in highly regulated industries, startups, and public companies alike.

What truly sets 619 IT apart is its community-centered mission. Inspired by his late brother, Daniel actively supports nonprofits for youth and adults with special needs, sits on the board of Pride Industries, and ensures his team shows up for causes that matter — like supporting ECG screenings with EP Save A Life.

With a local data center, both remote and on-site support, and a focus on long-term client success, 619 IT offers more than tech solutions — it offers peace of mind.

“Risk-taking isn’t about chance,” Daniel says. “It’s about vision, preparation, and purpose.”

Whether you’re a startup ready to scale or an established business aiming to strengthen your cybersecurity, 619 IT is here to help you grow — securely and confidently.
