STRATEGIC ENGAGEMENT

Strategic Advisory & Executive Collaboration

I work with executive leaders and enterprise stakeholders to:

Through CLI to C-Level, I share insights on enterprise governance, AI compliance, and the evolving role of technology leadership.

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

I lead enterprise technology organizations as a business function, not a cost center.

Eighteen years across telecom infrastructure, satellite communications, MSP operations, and regulated environments have produced one consistent result: technology investment that drives measurable growth, reduces operational risk, and builds organizations that perform without dependency on any single individual.

I advise executive stakeholders on capital allocation, technology investment priorities, governance operating models, and risk posture decisions that influence performance beyond the IT budget.

My leadership model combines financial discipline, operating rigor, and modernization execution so enterprise technology directly contributes to EBITDA protection, service reliability, and long-term strategic optionality.
