Island Heights, New Jersey, United States
I'm a business technology executive and entrepreneur with 30+ years leading global professional services firms across consulting, enterprise, and managed services. As Founder & CEO of ClearSky Technology Partners, I help business enterprises turn technology investment into measurable business outcomes. My focus areas are technology strategy, AI governance, enterprise infrastructure, vendor management, and partner program development. What sets my approach apart is treating AI, cybersecurity, and data governance not as isolated initiatives but as integrated strategic levers, building the governance structures, partner ecosystems, and vendor accountability frameworks that make transformation stick. Before founding ClearSky, I spent 13 years at Marsh & McLennan Companies as Global Head of Operations, overseeing $400M+ in technology programs across 130+ countries and a 60,000-person organization. I drove $100M+ in cost reductions through strategic vendor negotiations, built global telecom financial management platforms from the ground up, and maintained 99.95% infrastructure uptime while managing 25% YoY demand growth on a flat budget, for five consecutive years. Today, through ClearSky, I bring that same operational credibility to advisory engagements. Whether I'm designing an AI governance framework for a regulated enterprise, structuring a $200M+ managed services contract, or standing up a channel partner program from scratch, my goal is to give clients the clarity and accountability they need to move forward with confidence. I've built and led global delivery teams, shaped C-suite strategy, and mentored the next generation of technology leaders. I believe the best technology work happens when business and IT leadership are aligned and that's the conversation I'm always looking to start. Open to advisory partnerships, board opportunities, and conversations with executives navigating complex technology transformation.

Pioneered and streamlined aggregation points and deployed new infrastructure, delivering state of the art services for B2B, B2C and back office communications.
