Helio Pereira
Partner and Senior Solutions Architect at Ceifa
Helio Pereira is Partner and Senior Solutions Architect at Ceifa, where he designs the managed IT and Microsoft cloud environments Ceifa runs for organizations of every size across North America.

About Helio
Helio sets the technical standard for the environments Ceifa manages. He designs the security baseline, device management and infrastructure that every managed client runs on, so that support is predictable and problems are caught early.
His hands-on depth covers networks and firewalls, backup and continuity, Intune and Windows Autopilot device management, security and compliance, and Microsoft 365 and Azure design, including tenant to tenant, Exchange Online and SharePoint migrations delivered with our sister consultancy, Regroove. He is equally comfortable architecting a solution at the executive level and building the PowerShell automation that brings it to life, which lets him bridge strategy and delivery on every engagement.
His career spans more than two decades in technology. He founded Ceifa IT Services in 2023 and led the acquisition of Regroove in 2025, and he continues to work closely with Netcetera Consulting as a white label service partner. Across every role, Helio has focused on aligning IT strategy with business goals and on building long term partnerships based on trust, innovation, and measurable results.
Helio is a passionate entrepreneur and a lifelong learner who is always exploring new technologies to make sure the solutions he recommends genuinely fit his clients. He is a dual citizen of Canada and Brazil and works with clients across English and Portuguese.
Outside of work, Helio loves snowboarding at Cypress Mountain and Whistler, and spends most summer weekends camping. He also tries to play soccer once a week, though his aging body keeps giving him good reasons to quit.
