I help entrepreneurs get from their current state to some desired future state. I run a business consulting firm called The Business Sherpas because getting to a successful outcome is a lot like climbing a mountain. It's always a tricky endeavor with lots of ways to go wrong, but if you have a guide, then your chances are greatly improved. Business is my mountain, and I know it like the back of my hand. I can help you with Strategy, Planning, and Execution. I use the fact-based, analytical approach used by the major consulting firms, but bring a more personalized touch for small and medium businesses. Businesses need different types of help. Sometimes that's strategy work like business plans, financial models, and go-to-market strategy, sometimes that's operational help like being a fractional COO or project management, and sometimes it's finding the right expert in a functional area to help you with one aspect of your business. I have been helping companies for 10+ years. From startup to Fortune 100, from no revenue to millions, I've helped them all, and I can help you.

Most businesses don’t have a technology problem. They have an execution problem. I’m an Enterprise Program Manager and Technical Transformation Leader who specializes in helping businesses confidently deliver complex technology initiatives that are risky, highly visible, or just plain too important to fail. Throughout my career spanning 25+ years, I’ve worked with executives, product teams, and engineering organizations to lead enterprise-wide transformations involving ERP, CRM, HRIS, cloud, enterprise integrations, CMS platforms, artificial intelligence, and large-scale data migrations. Whether the goal is modernizing legacy systems, integrating a stack of siloed platforms, or bringing order to a chaotic delivery organization, my focus stays the same: reduce risk and help you execute with confidence. I don’t believe great programs are won by holding status meetings and managing Excel spreadsheets. Successful programs are built on smart technical decisions, realistic delivery plans, eliminating organizational roadblocks, and keeping the lines of communication open between the business and engineering teams. On any given day, I’m just as comfortable working with executives on strategy, budgets, and roadmaps as I am digging into the details with product owners, mapping integrations with architects, validating data migrations, configuring Jira workflows, or collaborating directly with engineers to unblock delivery. I’ve led initiatives ranging from small product teams to global enterprise programs involving multiple vendors, distributed engineering teams, and executive stakeholders. Some of the initiatives I regularly lead include: * Enterprise Program & Product Management * Digital & Business Transformation * Cloud Strategy, Migration Planning, and Infrastructure Modernization * ERP, CRM, HRIS, & Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) * Enterprise CMS Platforms, Website Migrations, and Digital Experience Platforms * Enterprise Data Migration and Systems Integration * Jira, ServiceNow, Agile Delivery, and PMO Process Modernization * Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, Identity, Security, and Zero Trust * Artificial Intelligence Enablement and Business Process Automation I’ve had the opportunity to work with organizations like Dell, VMware, LG Electronics, Cox Communications, Enovix, along with many high-growth companies navigating major technology transformations. Some of the platforms and technologies I’ve worked with include Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce, HubSpot, Workday, Jira, ServiceNow, Azure DevOps, Contentstack, Drupal, WordPress, Evisort, DocuSign CLM, Databricks, AWS, Azure, Microsoft 365, and many more. I typically get brought into organizations when: * They need experienced leadership on a large technology initiative. * Multiple teams or vendors aren’t aligned. * Requirements are unclear and delivery has stalled. * Cloud, ERP, CMS, or enterprise platform migrations need clear vision and structure. * Data migrations or integrations pose significant business risk. * Leadership needs someone who can understand business objectives and translate them into actionable technical plans. I don’t come in to add another management layer. I come in to remove the friction that’s keeping your organization from delivering. If you think I can help with your technology initiatives, I’d love to hear from you.
