Growing organizations need strategic technology leadership, not another vendor. I embed as your CTO — assessing risk, building AI-ready roadmaps, and guiding execution — so you make confident decisions at every inflection point.
These aren't edge cases. They're the decisions that define whether an organization scales smoothly or pays an expensive technology tax for years.
Every organization is being sold AI. Few have a plan for it. The organizations that capture real value from AI aren't the ones that adopt the most tools — they're the ones that adopt the right tools with the right governance, tied to specific operational outcomes.
AI strategy is now a core part of every engagement I do. Whether you're a freight brokerage evaluating route optimization tools, a nonprofit exploring member engagement automation, or a manufacturer looking at predictive maintenance — the questions are the same: what's worth pursuing, what's the risk, and how do you govern it?
Four named packages. You know exactly what you're buying and what you'll receive. Pricing discussed on your discovery call.
I work best with SMBs under 100 employees, nonprofits, and growth-stage organizations across the Midwest making real technology decisions without a full-time CTO in the room.
A clear, predictable path. No scope surprises. No endless retainers before you see results.
I've built and sold a software development firm, co-founded and scaled a logistics SaaS startup to $6MM ARR as CTO, and spent 20+ years leading technology across organizations ranging from early-stage startups to large enterprise engagements in manufacturing, government services, and consumer products.
Three of my companies were in transportation and logistics — so when a freight brokerage asks me about TMS selection, carrier connectivity, or AI-driven pricing tools, I'm not consulting from a textbook. I've made those decisions, lived with them, and learned what actually matters.
Today I work as a solo fractional CTO based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving growing organizations that need experienced strategic leadership at a scale that makes sense for their size and stage. I work with freight brokerages, member-based nonprofits, manufacturers, and growth-stage SMBs — organizations that are serious about technology and ready to make it a competitive advantage.
