Who I Am
I’m a Fractional CTO who partners with growth-focused B2B companies in regulated industries, transforming complex technology challenges into scalable, strategic solutions. My experience spans industries where security, compliance, and user experience are critical. Unlike traditional CTOs, I bring both hands-on expertise and high-level strategic guidance to ensure your technology doesn’t just keep up but actively drives your business forward. My purpose is to align your tech, teams, and vision, creating a foundation that supports growth, builds resilience, and empowers you to lead.
Why I Do What I Do
I believe technology should be a bridge to growth, not a barrier. Too often, companies find themselves in cycles of quick fixes that solve immediate issues but create more obstacles down the road. My mission is to help companies build tech systems that are practical, scalable, and aligned with their long-term vision for compliance, customer satisfaction, and growth. This work isn’t just about getting it done—it’s about building a framework that enables your entire team to succeed. Integrity, accountability, and clear communication guide my approach, ensuring that each decision supports your growth and vision.
How I Got From There to Here
Early on, I realized that sustainable growth requires more than just “fixing tech issues.” Real growth is about aligning technology with your long-term business goals and fostering cross-functional understanding.
​
As I took on more responsibilities, I found myself working with departments outside of engineering. At first, I struggled to communicate their value to my own team, leading to missed opportunities for true alignment.
​
I learned that to drive success, I needed to understand the perspectives and goals of every team involved. I sought mentorship outside my field and offered mentorship in return, broadening my view to value diverse expertise and open communication.​
Your most pressing challenge is creating a scalable, mobile-first strategy that connects seamlessly across channels while staying compliant. You’re feeling the pressure as legacy systems limit your growth, and customers demand a consistent, omni-channel experience. You need a way to align technology and teams quickly, without disrupting operations. You know that if you don’t solve this soon, growth will stall, and your competitive edge could slip away.
​
You’ve tried patching your current systems, bringing in specialized vendors, and reallocating resources to meet immediate demands. You’ve invested in short-term fixes that promise speed but often lead to more silos and complexity. Your team has worked hard to keep things running, but without a cohesive strategy, the solutions don’t stick. Despite the effort, the real issues—scalability, integration, and alignment—remain unsolved.​
​
The reason these efforts haven’t worked is that they address symptoms, not the root issues. Patches and short-term solutions only add to the complexity, creating more tech silos and operational bottlenecks. Without a unified strategy, your technology and teams stay misaligned, slowing down your response to market demands. The fixes may offer temporary relief, but they don’t provide the scalability and integration you need for sustained growth.
Lasting growth lies in alignment—not just between tech and business, but among every team working toward a shared goal. Today, I approach each client’s challenges holistically, knowing that integrating diverse perspectives is the foundation for sustainable, impactful solutions.
My Approach to Technology Leadership
I believe in a balanced approach to technology leadership. For clients in high-stakes environments, strategy must guide immediate action, and big-picture thinking should inform daily operations. I work closely with your team to identify gaps, build alignment, and create a roadmap where each step strengthens your growth. My role is to simplify complexity, bring clarity, and ensure every decision made today supports your vision for tomorrow.
Behind the Scenes
Outside of consulting, I’m passionate about smart home technology. I enjoy experimenting with tools that make life more efficient and integrated, much like how I approach business solutions. This hands-on interest keeps me attuned to innovation and practical application, a balance I bring to every project.​
You’d Never Guess This!
One thing you might not know: I’m a certified wilderness first responder. My love for climbing, hiking, and exploring remote areas led me to pursue advanced training to handle emergencies in the wild. This training taught me to stay calm, assess situations quickly, and make critical decisions with limited resources—skills that have proven invaluable in business, where unexpected challenges demand the same level of readiness, focus, and adaptability.
