Technology Leadership,
Strategic Advisory & Workshops
Move your technology and business priorities forward.
I help business leaders and founders make confident technology decisions, improve software delivery, and turn ideas into practical products and services.
I’ve co-founded and grown an aviation software company through its acquisition by Boeing, led large technology teams at Boeing Vancouver, and guided modernization across businesses and nonprofit organizations. Today, I draw on that experience to offer focused advisory engagements, fractional technology leadership and practical workshops.
Technology Strategy & Transformation
For organizations deciding what to modernize, where to invest, or how to get a technology initiative back on track.
I work with your leadership team to clarify the business problem, assess your current environment and set practical priorities. Engagements can include technology and software delivery assessments, cloud migration planning, cybersecurity and governance reviews, vendor evaluations, and recovery plans for initiatives facing delivery challenges.
What you receive: Clear recommendations and a prioritized action plan outlining the reasoning, dependencies and next steps.
Engagement format: A defined project with an agreed scope, deliverables and fee.
Founder & Startup Advisory
For founders turning an idea into a product, preparing to scale, or navigating unfamiliar technology decisions.
Having built and operated software businesses, I understand the decisions founders face when time, funding and development capacity are limited. I help you clarify the customer problem, test assumptions using design thinking, define product requirements and prioritize an initial release. I also help you work effectively with development teams and technology partners as your business grows.
What you receive: A clear product direction, practical development priorities and guidance grounded in experience building and delivering software.
Engagement format: Paid advisory sessions, ongoing advisory engagements or mentoring programs funded by supporting organizations.
Fractional & Interim Technology Leadership
For organizations that need experienced executive leadership during growth, change or a leadership transition.
I work alongside your executives and technology teams to translate business priorities into clear decisions and effective delivery. My involvement can include technology strategy, investment planning, governance, vendor relationships, engineering leadership and oversight of modernization programs.
What you gain: An experienced leader who sets direction, makes decisions, supports your people and holds teams accountable for progress.
Engagement format: A monthly fractional leadership engagement or a defined interim assignment, with agreed responsibilities and fees.
Executive Workshops & Speaking Engagements
For leadership teams, founder communities and organizations seeking practical insights they can put to work.
I deliver talks and facilitated workshops grounded in my experience as a founder, technology executive and advisor. Topics include:
-
From idea to product
-
Making better technology decisions
-
Building and leading technology teams
-
From startup to acquisition
Workshops combine discussion and hands-on exercises to help participants apply what they learn to their own challenges. Speaking engagements include presentations, moderated conversations and Q&A.
What participants gain: Practical insights, tools and clear next steps relevant to their work.
Engagement format: Paid workshops and speaking engagements tailored to your audience and objectives, with an agreed scope and fee.
How We Work Together
We start with a brief conversation about your objectives, current challenges and the support you need. I then propose an engagement with a clear scope, deliverables, timeline and fee.
Based in Vancouver, I’m available for remote and in-person engagements.
