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.
Small business network setup can include reviewing your current environment, planning infrastructure, configuring connectivity and access, establishing security controls, connecting cloud and business applications, testing systems, and providing ongoing monitoring and support. The exact scope is shaped around your users, workflows, existing technology, and operational goals rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
