Summary

This Technology Strategy & Digital Transformation Executive Consultant is a strategic technology executive with 25+ years setting IT direction for growth-stage manufacturers and consumer goods companies — building the roadmap, prioritizing the investments, and leading the transformation work that takes a business from where it is to where it’s headed. Equally effective rolling up sleeves: a specialist in converting stalled projects, fragmented systems, and outgrown infrastructure into immediate wins and a sequenced long-term plan — with results that include scaling a multi-brand manufacturer from $85M to $150M, enabling 3x revenue growth while reducing IT costs 40%, and rescuing stalled ERP, e-commerce, and compliance programs. This Technology Strategy & Digital Transformation Executive Consultant brings current, working depth across ERP strategy, e-commerce and omni channel platforms, data governance and analytics, AI enablement, and cybersecurity.

Relevant Accomplishments

• Interim CIO — Aerospace Manufacturer: Engaged to rescue three stalled enterprise initiatives at an FAA-regulated DoD supplier — restarted a stalled Netsuite ERP implementation, launched the e-commerce program, and drove CMMC certification readiness. Scope expanded to reporting/analytics modernization and a pragmatic AI adoption roadmap as trust was established. 

• Right-Sized a $100M Manufacturer Running on $30M Infrastructure: As head of technology for a $150M vertically integrated luxury furniture and home goods manufacturer (5 brands), diagnosed that a perceived “website problem” was an enterprise systems problem; re-architected the application landscape to support growth from $85M to $150M. 

• Sage X3 to NetSuite Migration: Led ERP migration off Sage X3 after it hit scale and complexity limits, implementing NetSuite and absorbing two acquired companies into the unified platform with no operational disruption. 

• Built a Data-Driven Organization: Established data operations from zero — Snowflake data platform, PowerBI executive dashboards, a dedicated data services team — then federated reporting by developing data point-persons in each department. Previously chaired an enterprise data governance board and delivered decision-support systems for ownership-level sales, inventory, and forecasting analysis. 

• Multi-Brand eCommerce Transformation: Consolidated and overhauled six B2B/B2C storefronts (Adobe Commerce, Shopify) and launched an omnichannel mobile commerce app uniting digital and physical retail experiences. 

• eCommerce Project Rescue: Recovered a stalled $500K Shopify launch in six weeks by resolving vendor disputes, integration failures, and UX barriers — delivered on time. 

• 3x Revenue Growth Enablement: Engineered the technology foundation supporting growth from $50M to $150M at an international educational publisher, including NetSuite ERP implementation and Salesforce integration via Celigo in 18 months. 

• 40% IT Cost Reduction: Cut IT expenditures 40% over 30 months through contract renegotiation, infrastructure modernization, and vendor consolidation — while the business tripled. 

• Ransomware Recovery in Four Days: Led response to a catastrophic ransomware attack — full restoration in four days, zero customer data loss, minimal revenue impact, customers unaware. 

• M&A Technology Integration: Delivered technical due diligence and seamless integration for three acquisitions with zero operational disruption. 

• IT Organization Builder: Twice rebuilt IT functions from outsourced/skeleton models into in-house organizations spanning network services, data & analytics, DevOps, enterprise applications, and PMO — with portfolio governance delivering 81% of initiatives on time/on budget. 

• Security & Compliance Advisory: Conducted security assessments against NIST, FERPA, and state frameworks for government institutions; delivered remediation roadmaps adopted by leadership. 

• Multi-Site eCommerce Consolidation: Won board approval to consolidate 25+ websites in-house at an Inc. Top 50 fastest-growing retailer, cutting defects and accelerating deployment cycles.
