Advising CEOs, CTOs, and Boards through Complexity and Scale.

I help technology-driven companies align strategy, governance, and leadership to unlock sustainable growth.

Aligning Technology Leadership with Business Growth

Sustainable speed doesn’t come from doing more, it’s the outcome of aligned strategy, systems, and teams.

As a technology advisor for CEOs and boards, I help organizations cut through complexity to accelerate results that last. Whether guiding leadership through transformation, designing resilient technology strategy, or strengthening governance and trust, my focus is on building systems that move companies forward with clarity and confidence.
