TECHNOLOGY • CYBERSECURITY • IT STRATEGY

CIO-level IT guidance for businesses that need senior leadership—not another help desk.

I help growing organizations independently evaluate cybersecurity, infrastructure, vendors, backups, technology spending, and business continuity—so leadership knows what is working, what is at risk, and what should happen next.

Your technology provider works for you. Someone should be making sure the technology strategy does too.

Many companies reach a point where technology, security, compliance, and business continuity are too important to be handled only as support tickets—but hiring a full-time CIO or IT Director still does not make sense. I provide a senior, independent layer between leadership and the people delivering the technology.

Focused on decisions, risk, accountability, and outcomes.

No help-desk bundle. No requirement to replace your MSP. No incentive to sell you hardware.

Scoped per engagement

Executive judgment backed by hands-on infrastructure experience.

My career has moved from systems and network administration into enterprise IT leadership. That matters because I can evaluate the business decision and understand what is happening underneath it technically.

Security governance, IAM, remote access, audit readiness, policy frameworks, TPN / MPAA compliance, and disaster recovery.

03

Multi-Site Infrastructure

Independent IT & Cybersecurity Health Check

Designed for business owners and executives who want an independent answer to: “Are we actually doing this right?”

I review the technology areas most likely to create security, downtime, compliance, financial, and operational risk. The result is a management-level report—not a 70-page scanner dump.

Red Immediate or material risk
Yellow Important improvement or exposure
Green Control or practice working well
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY RISK • IMPACT • ACTION
B−
Overall Technology Risk

Good operational foundation with several high-priority security and recovery gaps requiring management attention.

RED
Admin MFA coverage incomplete Business impact: account takeover risk
YELLOW
Backups not regularly restore-tested Business impact: recovery confidence unknown
GREEN
Endpoint protection centrally managed Continue monitoring and policy enforcement
Every finding includes priority, business impact, recommended action, and owner.

The technology areas leadership should be able to trust.

Identity & AccessMFA, privileged accounts, onboarding/offboarding, access ownership and remote access.
CybersecurityEmail, endpoints, patching, firewalls, security controls and policy alignment.
Business ContinuityBackups, restore testing, ransomware recovery, failover and disaster recovery planning.
InfrastructureNetworks, Wi-Fi, servers, cloud services, storage, lifecycle, capacity and resilience.
Vendors & SpendMSP scope, licensing, telecom, contracts, vendor performance and unnecessary cost.
GovernancePolicies, documentation, cyber-insurance readiness, risk ownership and technology roadmap.

19+ years across systems, infrastructure, security, and executive IT leadership.

I have spent my career operating technology in environments where downtime, security, performance, and cost all matter at the same time—from hands-on systems and network administration through CIO-level responsibility.

My experience includes enterprise IT strategy, cybersecurity governance, multi-site infrastructure, high-performance storage and compute, disaster recovery, vendor management, facility build-outs, cloud and remote-work architectures, and technology budgeting.

I hold CompTIA Security+ and AWS Cloud Practitioner certifications. My approach is practical: understand the business risk, verify the technical reality, and give management a clear path forward.

Growing companies with real technology risk—but no need for another full-time executive.

Not sure whether independent IT oversight would help?

A short conversation is usually enough to determine whether there is a gap worth addressing. No obligation to replace your current IT provider.
