Professional Journey
Bialous and Chris Miles met at the University of Delaware, where they were fraternity brothers in Pi Kappa Alpha and both graduated in 1992. Miles went into construction after college and moved into IT services when his customers kept asking for help with their computers. The company he built, Miles Technologies, operated near Moorestown Mall in New Jersey. A 2004 profile in the university’s alumni magazine described it as having 37 employees, more than 450 clients and $3.1 million in revenue, and named Bialous as Miles’s vice president.
The company now trades as Miles IT. It still offers the same range of services as it did then: IT support and networking, custom software and web development, and marketing. It remains wholly owned by its founder and family trusts. Bialous is now its Chief Operating Officer. In the company’s words, he works with the executive team “to create the vision for Miles IT, develop and strengthen its culture, and create short and long-term goals aligned with our vision”, and turns those goals into plans for employees and customers.
He also runs the company’s marketing function. That covers both Miles IT’s own brand and the marketing services it sells, which help client businesses define what sets them apart and turn that into branding and lead generation. The company credits him with building and communicating the Miles IT brand over two decades. His own summary is that he combines “creativity and technology to build brands and achieve growth goals.”
Outside work, his company biography lists skiing, jiu-jitsu and drums.
