What an Engagement Looks Like
I don't work from a fixed menu. Engagements are scoped to what your situation actually requires. That said, most of what I do falls into one of these areas.
Fractional CIO/CTO
You need senior IT leadership, but not a full-time hire. I step in as an embedded executive: attending leadership meetings, making decisions, managing teams and vendors, and providing the strategic direction your organization needs. This works well for companies in transition, growth, or situations where the internal IT leader seat is vacant or underperforming.
AI Readiness and Adoption
Every organization is trying to figure out AI right now, and most are doing it without a clear framework. I help clients move from AI curiosity to practical, risk-managed deployment. That means assessing your current environment, identifying where AI can genuinely create value, establishing governance and adoption guidelines, and making sure the organization is ready to absorb the change. The goal is confident, deliberate adoption, not a rushed experiment.
IT Transformation Advisory
Large IT transformations fail more often than they succeed. The reasons are rarely technical. They're organizational: misaligned priorities, a vendor that over-promised, a team that wasn't prepared for the change, or leadership that lost the thread. I work with companies navigating ERP implementations, cloud migrations, infrastructure overhauls, and major platform changes to keep the work on track and the business informed. I've been on both sides of these engagements, and I know where they go wrong.
Vendor and MSP Management
If a vendor or managed service provider is underdelivering and you're not sure how to get back on track, or whether you should, that's a conversation I can help with. I've negotiated, managed, and restructured vendor relationships across the full range of IT categories. I can assess what's happening, help you decide whether to fix it or exit, and manage the process either way.
How I Work
Engagements are typically structured as a defined scope of work or an ongoing advisory arrangement, depending on what the situation calls for. I keep my client list small so I can be genuinely present in each engagement. Most clients start with a conversation to assess fit before committing to anything.
Not sure which of these fits your situation?
That's fine. Describe what you're dealing with and we'll figure it out together.
