I'm an IT executive turned management consultant and I help organizations get the business results they need from information technology and information security.
That's because I’m a top expert with two advanced degrees, two decades of experience, twenty five industry certifications (some of which I helped develop), and a track record of success, awards, and recognition.
As the Chief Information Officer (CIO) of one of Tucson, Arizona's largest healthcare nonprofits, I led an IT transformation which was recognized with the prestigious CIO 100 award for technology innovation and business value creation. I ran a successful technology solutions firm which was awarded Best Small Business, and I was personally recognized with a 40 under 40 award. I’ve improved outcomes and reduced costs as the Deputy CIO of a large State University and as the Director of North America Technology Operations of a global investment bank, and I’ve otherwise served as a consultant, employee, or contractor for a number of Fortune 50 and Fortune 500 organizations.
By contracting with me on a fractional 'as needed' basis, you'll have the advantage of working with a top expert to get the business results you need from information technology and information security, in a cost-efficient way, without the overhead of a full-time position.
Find out how, contact me at no cost and with no obligation.
Whether you work with a managed service provider or in-house staff, I will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your existing environment and practices to identify opportunities that improve outcomes, manage risks, and reduce costs.
Benefit from my expertise in a cost-efficient manner -- let me join your organization part-time to ensure effective information technology, information security, and risk management leadership, whether during a transition, or an ongoing basis.
I'll work closely with your organization's business leaders to facilitate the development of a portfolio of value-creating information technology initiatives together with a roadmap to achieve them, whatever the resource constraints.
Let me review an anticipated information technology initiative (e.g. new software, outsourcing transition) for gaps and to model its long-term costs against its anticipated efficiency gains, to help evaluate return-on-investment.
I will review the administrative, technical, and physical security controls that contribute to effective information security and regulatory compliance (e.g. HIPAA, FERPA, SOX, GDPR, PCI-DSS) and recommend cost-efficient ways to improve them.
Whether to meet compliance obligations, or simply to benefit from a planned, managed response, I'll work closely with your organization's business leaders to facilitate the development of a disaster recovery and business continuity plan.
