Experienced interim technology leadership for transitions, turnarounds, and transformations — six interim CIO/CTO/IT Director engagements across power generation, insurance, investment management, and equipment rental. I stabilize, build the team, deliver the roadmap, and hand off clean.

The Problem

The moments a company most needs senior technology leadership are exactly the moments it does not have it: the CIO just left, the platform program is failing, the PE sponsor wants a transformation the current team cannot carry, or the company has outgrown the IT organization it built.

A search takes six to nine months. The business does not wait that long — and neither do the problems.

The Engagement

I step in as interim CIO, CTO, or IT Director with a consistent operating pattern: stabilize the immediate situation, stand up the governance and team the company actually needs, deliver the transformation roadmap, and hand off clean — often to a permanent leader I help recruit.

  • Operating model redesign: Not just running IT — rebuilding how the business plans, executes, and measures

  • Team building: Recruiting, structuring, and mentoring internal teams that outlast the engagement

  • Hands-on delivery: I architect and, where needed, personally build; the role is operator, not caretaker

  • Defined exit: Interim means interim; success includes the handoff

Proof

  • Global 500 power generation division (Interim CIO, 3+ years): EBITDA from −20% to +10%; cycle times from 8+ months to under 3; estimating from weeks to under 4 hours; model replicated to a second division

  • PE-backed healthcare multimedia company (Interim CIO / Board Advisor, 2 years): Guided a CEO transition while delivering a multi-million-dollar hospital analytics product, then stood up the internal IT and AI team

  • Investment management firm (Interim CIO): Built and trained the development team whose members went on to found Solovis — portfolio management software later acquired by NASDAQ
