Hire Your Next CTO
I come ready to Solve your concerns, not endlessly Study them.

Where does a fresh perspective help?

  • help a start-up with technology leadership (and instant credibility with potential investors)
  • transition a SaaS firm into a rapid growth cycle
  • replace a departing CTO, shore up technology efforts, and attract technical staff
  • identify and resolve issues that negatively impact the transaction for an acquisition or sale

I began my career at IBM, and most recently was tapped as the CTO of a medical EHR firm to urgently cure chronic software, technology, and process problems in preparation for a successful exit. 

Every engagement is executed with a proven discipline, trusted playbooks, and hands-on experience. I remove the roadblocks holding back your firm from growing, or reducing costs, or attracting technical talent, or delivering your product roadmap.
