Founder
Leon Engelking is the Founder of LME Services, having launched the company in 1994 after a career at IBM during the early rise of Microsoft and personal computing. Recognizing an underserved population of business owners who needed dependable, practical IT support as internet adoption emerged, Leon built LME from the ground up to meet that need. Over more than three decades, he guided the company through major technology shifts, including ransomware growth, cloud computing adoption, and the transition to remote work. His vision established LME's family-run culture and its commitment to long-term client relationships throughout Chicagoland. Leon's legacy continues to shape the company's values of security-first operations and dedicated, personalized service for small and mid-size businesses across the region.
IT services generally provide ongoing operational support, such as helpdesk assistance, monitoring, cybersecurity, backups, cloud administration, and system maintenance. IT consulting focuses more on advice, planning, assessment, and project guidance. LME Services combines both approaches, helping businesses make informed technology decisions and then providing the hands-on support needed to implement and maintain those decisions.
