Irvine, California – May 1, 2025 – Synoptek, a leading systems integrator and managed services provider, today announced that after 24 years of visionary leadership, Tim Britt will step down from his role as Chief Executive Officer. Under his leadership, Synoptek evolved into an award-winning provider of IT management and consulting services.
Salil Godika, previously CEO of Synoptek India, has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Britt will transition to Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and will remain actively involved, advising on strategic initiatives and business development.
Godika is a seasoned executive with more than 30 years of experience across enterprise software and IT services. Over the past five years at Synoptek, he has played a pivotal role in expanding the company’s service delivery capabilities. Prior to joining Synoptek, he held leadership roles at several prominent technology firms, including being one of the co-founders of Happiest Minds Technologies, a global IT services company, where he served as President and CEO of the Digital Business Unit. He also served as Chief Strategy Officer at MindTree, where he was instrumental in driving the company’s strategic direction. Earlier in his career, he spent 12 years in sales, and market development, product management, and engineering roles with U.S.-based software companies, ranging from start-ups to large enterprises.
He is recognized as a strategic thinker with strong operational expertise and a proven track record of scaling businesses, leading M&A activity, and building high-performing teams.
Reflecting on his time leading the company, Britt shared: “Synoptek has been an incredible journey. We set out to enable enterprise-caliber technology in an underserved market—and we achieved that. Building Synoptek into what it is today took a remarkable team effort. It’s been an honor to work alongside such talented professionals who helped bring that vision to life. We’ve grown from a small consulting firm into a systems integrator and managed services provider, delivering transformative results for mid-market organizations that depend on technology to advance their businesses.”
Britt continued, “I remain very optimistic about Synoptek’s future. The market remains underserved, and our value proposition has never been stronger. It’s rare to find a prospective customer in our space with a fully mature IT operation—there are always gaps we can fill. Having worked closely with Salil over the past five years, I am confident in his leadership. He embodies our core values and is deeply committed to our long-term vision. I congratulate him on this well-deserved promotion and look forward to supporting him in my new role.”
Commenting on his appointment, Godika said: “It is a tremendous honor to be named CEO at such a pivotal time for Synoptek. I look forward to working with our talented team to build on our strong foundation, expand our capabilities, and continue achieving exceptional results for our clients. With our deep expertise and unwavering commitment to delivery excellence, we are uniquely positioned to help organizations navigate their evolution and achieve competitive advantage through technology.”
Jack Walker, Partner at Quad-C, Synoptek’s private equity partner, added: “We are confident in Salil’s leadership as he steps into the role of CEO. His extensive industry expertise, operational discipline, and experience scaling IT services companies make him exceptionally well-suited to guide Synoptek through its next phase of strategic growth.”

The company has earned numerous industry awards for service excellence, maintains a best-in-class customer satisfaction rating of 4.9 out of 5, and consistently achieves Net Promoter Scores exceeding 70—a testament to its unwavering commitment to client success.
As CEO, Godika will continue to invest in the Synoptek team to uphold its legacy of excellence: “What sets Synoptek apart as a leading managed services provider and trusted technology partner is our unique ability to transform customer experiences, modernize application ecosystems, and optimize infrastructure performance and security.
