About

Chief Information Officer with 25+ years leading enterprise IT organizations through growth, modernization, and transformation. I build scalable, secure, business-aligned technology platforms in complex, multi-site environments. As CIO and senior technology executive across insurance, payments, logistics, and SaaS organizations, I have: • Led $40M-$50M+ technology budgets and teams from 15 to 250+ professionals • Modernized legacy platforms and enterprise ERP environments • Strengthened cybersecurity, disaster recovery, and regulatory resilience • Integrated acquisitions and unified fragmented systems • Built 3-5 year roadmaps aligned to Private Equity growth objectives • Improved availability, reduced cloud costs, and increased operational velocity • Led IT in multi-site, field service environments where technology performance directly affects user efficiency, customer satisfaction, and operating margin I am most effective in high-growth or transformation environments where technology must shift from reactive support function to strategic enabler. I partner closely with CEOs, CFOs, and business unit leaders to ensure IT is disciplined, data-driven, and accountable, while remaining practical and execution-focused. I operate at the intersection of strategy and execution: equally comfortable defining the roadmap and rolling up my sleeves to deliver it. I own outcomes.
