Most growing businesses hit a wall with technology.

These are the situations where I usually get the call. If any of these sound like your Tuesday, we should talk.

🔥
Everything is held together with duct tape
Years of quick fixes, workarounds, and "we'll deal with that later" decisions have created a fragile mess that nobody fully understands.
🤷
You don't know what you're paying for
SaaS subscriptions, vendor contracts, and hardware costs have piled up without anyone tracking what's actually needed vs. what's just running on autopilot.
📈
Growth is exposing the cracks
What worked for 50 people doesn't work for 200, and certainly not 1,000. Your tools, processes, and infrastructure weren't built for where you're headed.
🎯
You need a strategy, not the latest trend
Every vendor has a shiny new "solution" for you. What you actually need is someone who knows which practices are proven, which tools are right for your size, and how to build something that lasts.

Two situations. One approach: get it right.

🧭
Righting the Ship
Things aren't working like they should. Let's figure out what's broken, what's wasting money, and how to build something stable and sustainable.
  • IT Assessment & Audit — honest look at where you stand
  • Vendor & SaaS Cleanup — cut the waste, consolidate the tools
  • Security & Compliance Posture — close the gaps before they become problems
  • Operations Stabilization — stop the fires, build reliable processes
🚀
Enabling Growth
You're growing and your technology needs to keep up. Let's build on proven foundations — not chase the latest trend — so your IT scales with you.
  • Fractional CIO — strategic IT leadership without the full-time cost
  • Digital Transformation — modernize operations, not just technology
  • IT Team Building & Mentoring — build the right team and make them great

01
Listen
We talk about your business — not just your technology. I need to understand where you're headed before I can help you get there.
02
Assess
I look at everything honestly — infrastructure, tools, vendors, processes, team. No sugarcoating, no scare tactics.
03
Plan
You get a clear roadmap built on proven practices — not the latest hype cycle. Priorities, costs, and timelines, written in plain English.
04
Execute
This is where the work gets done. I lead the implementation directly — managing vendors, coordinating your team, and solving the problems that come up along the way.
05
Hypercare
New systems need babysitting. After go-live, I monitor closely, fix what needs fixing, and make sure your people are comfortable before anyone calls it "done."
06
Transition
When it's time, I hand off cleanly — documentation, knowledge transfer, and confidence that your team can run it from here without me.

Not sure where to start? That's exactly why I'm here.
