Where I help
Three problems I solve every day in my own job—and for clients.
01
Audit-ready compliance
Control environments that hold up under scrutiny—designed, evidenced, and owned by your team.
- SOX 404 and IT general controls
- SOC 2 readiness and control design
- CMMC Level 1 self-assessment
In practice: Runs the ITGC program at a public company; leading Gild Technologies through CMMC Level 1.
02
Secure AI adoption
Move from ad-hoc ChatGPT use to governed AI that leadership, security, and auditors can all sign off on.
- AI strategy and roadmap for executives
- Usage policy and internal-tool adoption
- AI agents with least-privilege access and audit logging
In practice: Leads AI strategy at an aviation company, piloting agents for IT helpdesk triage and compliance evidence.
03
IT operations & delivery
Hands-on leadership for the systems, vendors, and builds that keep a business running.
- Microsoft 365 and Azure security hardening
- Vendor, contract, and cost management
- Office and building IT, from design to go-live
How an engagement runs
Executive judgment, hands-on delivery.
Assess
A plain-language gap review against the framework, risk, or goal that matters to you.
Plan
A prioritized roadmap with owners, budget, and the right vendors—sized to your team.
Deliver
I do the work alongside your people and partners, not just the slides.
Hand over
Evidence, runbooks, and a clear owner, so it keeps working after I step back.
