Strategic Advisory, AI Governance, and Executive Coaching for Technology Leaders
Independent services that help CEOs, CTOs, and boards align technology, leadership, and strategy. Build clarity, trust, and sustained performance.
Aligning Technology Leadership with Business Growth
Every organization reaches a point where technology, leadership, and strategy must align for real progress to happen.
I work with CEOs, CTOs, and boards to create that alignment through independent advisory, governance, and executive coaching services that build clarity, trust, and sustained performance.
Whether you need strategic guidance, stronger oversight, or leadership development, these three service areas are designed to meet you where you are and accelerate your next stage of growth.
CTO Advisory
Strategic partnership for CEOs and CTOs.
Independent advisory that helps CEOs and CTOs align technology strategy with business goals. Create clarity, strengthen decision-making, and sustain delivery speed.
Whether you’re scaling fast, realigning priorities, or preparing for investment, this partnership provides the structure and insight to lead with confidence.
Governance, AI, and Risk
Independent insight for boards and investors.
Advisory focused on governance, AI ethics, and technology risk. I help boards and investors anticipate disruption, strengthen transparency, and make confident, well-informed decisions.
Gain clarity on how technology strategy and oversight practices can build trust, accountability, and long-term resilience.
Executive Coaching
Develop exceptional technology executives.
Blends frameworks, mentoring, and leadership development to help CTOs and technology leaders grow into confident, strategic executives.
Grounded in the CTO Levels framework and CTO Sentinel desired outcomes, each engagement builds clarity, trust, and influence for long-term leadership success.
A Framework for Clarity, Trust, and Results
Every engagement, whether with a CEO, board, or technology leader, starts with one goal: aligning leadership, strategy, and execution.
My approach blends decades of experience as a CTO, founder, and board-certified director (CDI.D) with structured frameworks that turn complex leadership challenges into clarity and momentum.
Together, these frameworks give leaders a common language for decision-making, alignment, and accountability to create more lasting clarity and trust across the organization.
CTO Sentinel ensures balance across the four essential outcomes every technology organization must drive: Speed, Stretch, Shield, and Sales.
CTO Levels defines what great technology leadership looks like at every stage of growth, helping CEOs and CTOs align around capability, maturity, and outcomes.
The GEMs framework turns strategy into motion by setting Goals, running Experiments, and Measuring outcomes that sustain progress. Its a great partner to OKRs.
