IT Leadership that Moves the Business Forward
As companies grow, IT complexity grows with them. New systems, acquisitions, expanding teams, and rising security expectations often call for a more strategic approach to IT.
I work alongside executives and founders to bring structure, strategy, and leadership to that complexity — however it shows up.
Ideal for PE-backed and founder-led companies between 100 and 1,000 employees navigating growth, M&A, or IT transformation.
My background spans identity infrastructure, enterprise security, system automation, and cross-functional leadership — across organizations that grew from startup to 6,000+ users globally. At Kin + Carta, I built and standardized the global IT function across four continents and reduced provisioning time by 80%. At Valtech, I led post-acquisition IT operations at enterprise scale and delivered $4M+ in annualized cost savings through application portfolio rationalization.
I work best with executives who are ready to transform IT from a back-office function into a strategic partner to the business. Based in Downers Grove, IL — available for Director/VP engagements and fractional IT leader retainers, both remote and hybrid.
End-to-end IT due diligence, system consolidation, and post-merger alignment across 6+ acquisitions.
Active Directory, Entra ID, SSO architecture, and JML automation at enterprise scale.
HITRUST certification delivery, enterprise security frameworks, and risk program ownership.
OKR/KPI-driven IT planning, executive roadmaps, and technology portfolio rationalization.
Built and scaled IT orgs of 10+ engineers; global operations across North America, South America, the UK, and Southeast Europe.
80% faster provisioning through workflow automation; $4M+ SaaS portfolio management and optimization.
Whether embedded as your full-time IT leader or engaged fractionally, I bring enterprise rigor to every engagement — with outcomes you can measure.
A structured diagnostic of your IT infrastructure, security posture, systems architecture, and team operations — delivered as an executive-ready report with prioritized remediation roadmap.
Vendor evaluation, RFP management, and implementation oversight for enterprise platforms — ITSM, MDM, SSO, and beyond. I own the process so your team doesn't have to.
Pre-close due diligence through post-merger integration. I've led 6+ M&A IT integrations — from 50-person bolt-ons to 2,000-person complex mergers — and I bring a proven playbook to every deal.
Ongoing strategic IT leadership for companies that need executive-level direction without a full-time hire. Monthly retainer engagements covering roadmap ownership, team coaching, vendor management, financial management of the IT portfolio, and executive-ready reporting — so you get a full IT leader without the full-time overhead.

Digital innovation studio building mobile, cloud, and emerging technology products.
Built the IT function from the ground up — from first hire to a fully operational team, processes, and technology foundation — through a period of rapid headcount growth from startup to mid-market.
At some point, your IT environment stops being a background function and starts being a business risk. Systems break under growth. Acquisitions create chaos. Security gaps become liabilities. Hiring a full-time IT leader is a six-figure commitment you may not be ready for. That's where I come in.

Right-sized engagement. Advisory to full coverage — match the commitment to what your business actually needs today.
