Advising CEOs, CTOs, and Boards through Complexity and Scale.
I help technology-driven companies align strategy, governance, and leadership to unlock sustainable growth.
Turn Complexity into Momentum.
Sustainable speed doesn’t come from doing more. It’s the outcome of aligned strategy, systems, and teams.
I help CEOs, CTOs, and Boards cut through complexity to accelerate results that last. Whether guiding a leadership team through a transformation, designing resilient technology strategy, or strengthening governance and trust, my focus is on building systems that move companies forward with confidence.
