Fractional & Interim CTO · AI Advisory
Senior technology leadership. Built, not just advised.
I've spent two decades building software and leading engineering teams, including a 50-person organization across three countries. Now I bring that same senior judgment to growing businesses that need a real technology leader without a full-time hire. I set the direction, and when something needs to get built, I build it.
How I Work
I embed with your team and own the outcome.
I'm not an arm's-length consultant who drops off a slide deck and disappears. I embed with your team, own the outcome, and stay in the work.
That means I do both halves of the job. I set technology strategy, make the build-versus-buy calls, choose vendors, and get your delivery predictable. And I stay hands-on. When something needs to get built, I build it. No handoffs, no delays, no waiting on someone else's backlog.
You get a technology leader who has done this at scale, working at the size and pace your business actually needs.
Where I'm Most Useful
Senior leadership without a full-time hire.
Bring me in when:
- · You need senior technical leadership but not a full-time, six-figure hire.
- · You're modernizing off legacy systems or standing up new ones, and you want someone who has done it before.
- · You want to put AI and automation to work, and you need it shipped, not theorized.
- · Your releases keep slipping and you need delivery you can trust.
- · You're facing a build-versus-buy or vendor decision and can't afford to get it wrong.
If any of that sounds familiar, we should talk.
AI and Automation, in Production
I close the gap between hype and results.
AI is where a lot of businesses are stuck between hype and results. I close that gap.
Through T2C, I build agentic and LLM-powered automation that runs in production and does real work: handling routine operations, following up on leads, moving information where it needs to go. Not a pilot that never ships. Working systems that pay for themselves.
I know both the technology and the business case, so we spend your time and money where it actually returns.
Background
Enterprise-grade experience, right-sized for your business.
Over the past 20 years I've led engineering at a global wealthtech platform (InvestCloud), where I built and led a 50-person team across the U.S., Italy, and India and drove the delivery discipline behind 13 straight on-time releases and a 50%-plus drop in release defects. Earlier I worked as a systems architect at a leading supply-chain software company (JDA, now Blue Yonder), including enterprise identity and integration work, and led delivery on financial-planning platforms.
I bring that enterprise-grade experience down to the size of your business, at a fraction of the cost and none of the overhead.
Location
Wisconsin-based, working nationwide.
I'm based in Wisconsin - serving Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Waukesha, Racine, and surrounding areas - and work with clients here and nationwide. Most of the work is remote. For local clients, an on-site visit or two early on is a great way to build trust and understand how your business really runs.

A short, no-pressure conversation. We'll talk through where you are, where you're stuck, and whether I'm the right fit. If I'm not, I'll tell you.
