About

Technology executive with extensive experience leading technology consulting businesses, enterprise IT organizations and large-scale digital transformation initiatives. Throughout my career, I have combined advisory leadership with hands-on enterprise technology management, serving both as a technology consulting leader and as Head of IT for a large professional services organization. I have built and scaled technology consulting capabilities from the ground up, managed multimillion-dollar consulting portfolios and led technology organizations responsible for strategy, governance, infrastructure, cybersecurity, enterprise applications, PMO and service management. Beyond technology leadership, I have developed and maintained executive-level relationships across global technology ecosystems including Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, SAS and other strategic partners, transforming alliances into business development opportunities, capability growth and long-term organizational value. I am particularly passionate about helping organizations align technology investments with business strategy, establish effective operating models and execute complex transformation programs that deliver measurable outcomes. My experience also includes software engineering leadership, productization of technology assets and development of asset-based consulting capabilities, enabling scalable and repeatable value creation beyond traditional consulting models. Key areas of focus: • Technology Strategy & Transformation • Enterprise IT Leadership • CIO & Technology Operating Models • Digital Transformation • IT Governance & Portfolio Management • Microsoft, SAP & Oracle Ecosystems • Strategic Alliances & Partner Management • Enterprise Applications • Asset-Based Consulting & Productization • Technology Advisory & Business Growth
