What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can drive IT strategy, cloud migrations, POS and security initiatives, mentor teams, and align technology with business growth.

I am a seasoned IT director and technology strategist with 20+ years leading enterprise IT strategy, infrastructure modernization, and digital transformation across multi-site and international operations.

I have hands-on expertise in POS systems (Oracle XStore), cloud platforms (Azure, O365), cybersecurity (PCI, LAN/WAN), and vendor/contract management, having led migrations, integrations, and compliance initiatives that improved scalability and security.

I built and scaled a national retail business as Founder & CEO, grew it to $400K+ annual revenue, and have led regional and global IT teams, focusing on cost optimization, business continuity, and stakeholder alignment.
