Executive Overview

I've led IT transformations for some of the world's most complex organizations—from relocating Condé Nast's headquarters to One World Trade Center with zero downtime, to transitioning 4,000+ employees to remote work in weeks during the pandemic. With 30+ years of experience spanning cloud operations, infrastructure, and cybersecurity, I specialize in turning technology challenges into competitive advantages. At Condé Nast, I built a global team of 85, managed a $20M+ budget across 22 business units and 50 locations, and launched their first Security Operations Center in just six months. Today, as Field CTO at CDW, I work with enterprise clients to design cloud transformation strategies and infrastructure modernization roadmaps that drive measurable business outcomes. My approach combines strategic vision with operational excellence—I don't just recommend solutions, I've implemented them at scale. What I bring to the table: * Enterprise cloud migration and optimization * Building and scaling high-performing global IT teams * Infrastructure modernization and security transformation * Strategic technology roadmaps aligned with business goals I've served on Customer Advisory Boards for Google, Slack, and 8x8, advising on product strategy and market direction. I'm actively seeking my next leadership role as CIO, CTO, or VP of IT where I can drive innovation and operational excellence.
