Stratascale Opens Cutting-Edge Charlotte HQ

Stratascale, a cybersecurity company delivering strategy, solutions, and managed services to the Fortune 1000 organizations, opened the doors to its 19,000-square-foot headquarters in Charlotte on September 12.

The office is located at One Independence Center, the modern office tower in the heart of Uptown that is home to Charlotte’s famed culinary collective, Monarch Market. A wholly owned subsidiary of SHI, the largest Minority/Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) in the United States, the company chose Charlotte as its national headquarters because of the proximity to its key client base and burgeoning technology community.

Innovative Design: Designed with flexibility and innovation in mind, the space features an Executive Briefing Center for interactive client meetings, a production studio for storytelling, as well as collaborative “huddle rooms” and a town hall space for company broadcasts. The office is also home to Stratascale’s Cybersecurity Fusion Center, a dedicated security operations center that combines battle-tested talent with automation to help clients proactively defend against modern adversaries 24/7/365.

David Olzak, SVP of Stratascale: “Charlotte’s tech ecosystem is growing quickly and we want to be at the center of it,” said David Olzak, President and SVP of Stratascale. “When we envisioned our headquarters, we pictured a dynamic and vibrant space where our clients, partners, and team members could connect and cultivate ideas. It’s exciting to see our vision come to life and to have the opportunity to be a driving force for cybersecurity in Charlotte. The opening of Stratascale’s headquarters marks a significant milestone in our growth journey. We're not just opening doors to an office — we're setting the stage for the future growth of our team and our company. The new headquarters reflects our commitment to invest in our people and enhance our operational capabilities. Together with an evolving partner ecosystem and expanded client base, we’re ready to Secure the Digital Future.”

Dr. Bojan Cukic, Dean and Professor at University of North Carolina Charlotte’s College of Computing and Informatics: "As a proud member of the Charlotte community and of UNC Charlotte, it’s wonderful to see a game-changing company like Stratascale investing in the Queen City. Their addition to our tech ecosystem will help develop the next generation of tech talent and support future growth in the cybersecurity industry. We look forward to partnering to bring great opportunities to UNC Charlotte and CCI students and alumni."
