What I'm looking for

I'm seeking fractional CIO or senior IT leadership roles with mid-sized businesses where I can drive IT transformation, strengthen cybersecurity, improve operations, and deliver measurable business value through strategic roadmaps and cost-saving initiatives.

I bring over 20 years of IT leadership as a founder and principal consultant, providing fractional CIO services, strategic IT roadmaps, and cybersecurity programs that align technology with business goals. I focus on driving operational efficiencies, vendor management, and cost reductions while improving client satisfaction.

My background includes launching new products and platforms that generated meaningful recurring revenue—such as a product line with $3,000,000 ARR and a cybersecurity platform adding $15,000 monthly—and managing large-scale IT buildouts and migrations. I hold PMP, CompTIA Security+, AWS Solutions Architect Associate, and CCNA certifications that underpin my hands-on technical and strategic approach.
