CIO and technology executive at Transform IT Pros, applying AI to executive decision-making and building accountable IT organizations.

United States
Message

At Transform IT Pros, I advise executive teams on technology transformation, AI strategy and adoption, cloud, cybersecurity, and program recovery. I apply AI to executive research, decision support, workflow automation, customer service, and business-process improvement.

At the Healthcare District of Palm Beach County, I built portfolio governance that gave leaders visibility across about 150 active and proposed initiatives. I also coordinated technology initiatives supporting one hospital and ten outpatient clinics.

At Chauvet Lighting, I directed IT across ten manufacturing and distribution locations and led NetSuite and Sage 300 initiatives. I scaled the internal IT organization from 5 to more than 20 while transitioning critical services from an external MSP; earlier, at Rittal Corporation, I led global IT supporting about 15,000 users across 80 countries.
