As a Fractional CIO and experienced consultant, I act as a confidential thought partner and challenger for your IT executives. This is not remedial training; it is high-performance acceleration. Whether you are navigating a crisis, suffering from burnout, or trying to push a major transformation, we provide the external perspective and accountability needed to clarify your vision and execute with precision.
Service overview
The transition from being a top-tier technologist to a C-Suite executive is profound. Many brilliant IT leaders struggle not with the technology, but with the "adaptive challenges" of leadership—communication, influence, and politics. I provide 1:1 sessions designed specifically for the technical mind. I help IT leaders develop the emotional intelligence and business acumen required to earn a seat at the table and drive organizational change.
- Executive Presence: Moving beyond "tech-speak" to communicate value, ROI, and strategy in language that resonates with the CEO and Board.
- Strategic Influence: Learning how to build consensus, manage lateral relationships with other C-level peers, and negotiate effectively.
- Team Culture: Shifting from "micromanaging the code" to "empowering the people," building high-performing, psychologically safe teams.
- Conflict Resolution: Navigating difficult conversations and organizational friction with confidence and empathy.
Key Deliverables (Customized as required)
- Blind Spot Identification: Uncovering behavioral patterns that are limiting your effectiveness or stalling your career.
- Decision Velocity: Frameworks to make faster, more confident decisions amidst uncertainty and complex data.

General questions
This isn't therapy or counseling; it's tactical advisory. Our sessions are focused, high-impact, and designed to improve communication, influence, and adherence to corporate values.
Yes, because I treat them as 'behavioral mechanics.' We break down communication and influence into learnable frameworks, just like engineering problems.
Coaching requires trust. What we discuss is 100% confidential. I report progress to the sponsor, but never the content of our sessions.
"We set behavioral KPIs at the start (e.g., reduced, turnover, feedback from board, senior management, other business units) We track progress against these tangible metrics. We also invite the senior HR leader to take part of the leadership development process.
"Because I’ve sat in the technical seat. I understand the specific pressure of managing downtime, vendors, and developers that a general coach simply cannot grasp. Having the ability to articulate the complexity of IT in the language of business is a skill. Additionally, from the perspective of the person that is being coached, we have one less group bias to manage.
