Ways to work together

Three ways in.

The specific work changes from company to company. The pattern doesn't. Find the constraint, build the improvement, prove the value, scale what works.

Operational Technology Sprints

A focused engagement that takes one specific problem and delivers a working improvement. Best when you can name the thing that's broken.

This can include

Automating a manual, spreadsheet-run process so it stops depending on one person
Connecting tools that don't talk, so people stop retyping the same data between them
Standing up a virtual assistant on a VoIP platform to handle routine calls
Streamlining an ecommerce or fulfillment operation that's gotten heavy and manual
Building a web app, mobile app, or marketing site
Building an internal AI knowledge library your team can actually search
Stabilizing a platform that's become slow, fragile, or unreliable

Technology & AI Advisory

Practical guidance on what to build, buy, integrate, automate, or leave alone. Best when the decision matters more than the build.

This can include

Build, buy, or integrate decisions, with a clear recommendation and the reasoning behind it
Vendor, platform, and MSP selection and evaluation
AI adoption and governance, so AI becomes real systems under real rules
A technology roadmap tied to business outcomes, not a wish list
Architecture decisions on systems you're about to commit real money to
Trusted-advisor support for a CEO or exec team with no senior technology voice in the room
Translating between the technology work and the business, so leadership understands what's happening and why

Fractional Technology Leadership

Ongoing senior technology ownership for companies that need experienced leadership without hiring a full-time CTO or CIO. One leader across strategy, architecture, delivery, cloud, data, security governance, and AI.

This can include

Owning a project end to end against an outsourced or offshore tech vendor
Leading a move from on-prem or a data center to the cloud
Owning a 0-to-1 product or platform launch, from strategy through production
Leading a modernization effort on a system that's outgrown its foundation
Setting AI and data governance a non-tech company can actually live with
Being the single technology owner so the founder stops being the bottleneck

Fit

Who this is for, and who it isn't.

Being specific about the second list is the fastest way to respect everyone's time.

Good fit

Lower-middle-market and growth-stage companies
Founder-led or owner-led businesses
Regulated or operationally complex environments
Healthcare and behavioral health
Certification, credentialing, and licensing organizations
Companies already invested in Microsoft 365
Companies with no senior internal technology leader

Not a fit

Pure staff augmentation
Offshore team management on its own
A company that wants a deck and no delivery
An AI initiative with no business outcome attached

Start with one problem.

Bring me the thing that's eating your week. We'll figure out whether it's worth solving and what it would take.
