Turning technology strategy into business outcomes.
Senior IT executive with 25 years of enterprise leadership — infrastructure, cybersecurity, cloud, and now enterprise AI. Founding Chair of AI Governance, daily practitioner with frontier AI tools.
I led enterprise technology for a 750-staff, 21-office engineering firm — directing infrastructure, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365, cloud platforms, and disaster recovery, and stewarding a $6M+ technology budget with Board-level accountability. I turn complex technology choices into clear business outcomes, grounding every recommendation in unbiased, data-driven decision-making that executives trust.
