I am a business-savvy provider of technology-based business solutions for the SMB market, specializing in infrastructure, information security and IT operations. For nearly 20 years, I have been solving complex business problems for small and midsized firms (as individual contributor, consultant/advisor, and leader of technology teams), helping them to improve agility, capitalize on key market opportunities, obtain strategic corporate partnerships, mitigate operational risks, and reduce technology operating budgets by 10-20%. I work with business owners and IT leaders to help them set technology strategy and direction, manage change, foster alignment between IT and the business, identify and mitigate security risks, streamline IT operations, design and implement scalable platforms, and deliver robust business solutions that help drive the businesses to sustained growth. I provide my clients with access to solutions, services, information, partnerships and other resources that would otherwise be cost-prohibitive for them. By keeping organizations focused on the four pillars of successful operation, I enable them to maximize their investments, while controlling costs: • Planning: Identifying not only current needs, but anticipating and preparing for future needs in a way that minimizes costs and risks, and enhances flexibility and alignment • People: The right people, with the right skills, in the right place – employees and partners – aligned to the current and future needs of the organization • Processes: Implementation of effective processes and practices in support of efficient operations, information security, software development, and regulatory compliance objectives • Technology: Architecture, deployment and maintenance of robust, secure, and scalable technology infrastructure and software applications that can flexibly support ever-changing business needs
