I help companies rescue failing or struggling technology organizations, merge new acquisitions, and leverage data to improve revenue. My innovative, solutions-oriented approach enables me to identify clear paths for rescuing troubled projects and for integrating organizations that operate at different tempos and styles. A company can expect practical, cost-effective, and forward-thinking solutions when I am leading its technology team. As a leader, I have a reputation for being transformative and empowering. I am constantly mentoring; I have trained both employees and customers on software development, networking, and IT support work. My deep technical background enables me to provide valuable mentoring, and my teams are confident that I understand their issues and challenges. I work at an operational tempo that meets or exceeds what I expect from my teams; they know that I will be there with them in the trenches when things get tough. Over the years, I have been a catalyst for change in organizations, groups, and individuals. My methods and demeanor remove or reduce the fear of change and help people understand and accept that they will grow into their new roles as the organization evolves. My 20 years of software development experience includes 18 in financial technology, and I am proficient in 9 of the top-10 programming languages. I have set the technology direction at Fortune 500 companies, bespoke software consultancies, and high-frequency trading firms across the globe. My extensive M&A integration and divestiture experience includes technology realignment, synergy identification, and redundancy elimination. I hold Public Trust Security Clearance.
