I currently lead IT service operations, security, and strategic initiatives at a publicly traded clinical stage biotechnology company. My remit covers cybersecurity, SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, vendor management, and the full IT employee experience.
I serve on the company's AI steering committee, where I work on AI governance and policy, Copilot and assistant rollouts, retrieval augmented generation, and LLM vendor evaluation across Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity.
Outside the day job I advise small and growing companies that need senior IT judgment without senior IT overhead. The brief is simple. Bring the discipline of a public company IT organization to teams moving at startup speed.
Engagements are scoped against the four areas below. Most clients start with one and grow into the others as trust compounds.
From policy to production. Governance frameworks, LLM vendor evaluation, Copilot and assistant rollouts, retrieval augmented generation, and SOC 2 considerations for AI workloads. Vendor neutral, security first.
Get more from the stack you already pay for. M365 and Copilot deployment, SharePoint architecture, Teams governance, Exchange Online hardening, and workflow automation that removes friction from daily operations.
Fractional CIO and IT Director services. Org design, scaling support operations from business hours to 24/7, budget planning, vendor negotiation, and roadmap development for teams without a senior IT leader in seat.
Service operations that scale. ITIL aligned processes, security reviews, SOC 2 Type 2 readiness, business continuity, and the operational discipline that keeps a growing company audit ready and resilient.
An active practitioner, not a retired advisor. These are the systems I work in every week.
No bloated decks. No discovery for the sake of discovery. Clear deliverables on a clear cadence.
A short discovery, usually two to three working sessions, to map current state, constraints, and the outcome you actually need. No theater.
A policy. A vendor short list. A pilot plan. A rollout playbook. Whatever the engagement calls for, you get something you can act on.
The goal is durable capability inside your team, not dependency on an outside advisor. Documentation, training, and a clean handoff are part of every brief.
A short note about your company, your stage, and what you're trying to solve is enough to get started. First conversation is on me.
