Executive Summary
I'm a transformational technology executive with a track record of leading enterprise IT operations from the ground up; from installing systems in the field to directing multi-state infrastructure strategy and standing up a full Managed Services division.
My focus is on making technology a genuine business advantage: reducing cost, increasing resilience, and building teams that can execute complex initiatives without disruption. I specialize in hybrid-cloud architecture, unified communications, cybersecurity governance, and AI-driven automation.
I bring both technical depth and business fluency, and I'm comfortable in a server room or a boardroom, and most effective when bridging the two.
