Summary

Technology governance consultant with 25+ years advising executives on portfolio architecture, operating model design, and decision-support structures. Engage as an external practitioner where internal teams lack bandwidth or expertise to diagnose and resolve systemic governance breakdowns. Representative engagements: built MISO Energy's first structured R&D portfolio framework for defensible cross-functional funding decisions; led Finance-sponsored GDPR remediation across 362 Microsoft-acquired entities under 20M-per-violation exposure; architected the operating model connecting Doosan GridTech's product roadmap to field readiness and sales enablement timing. Specialize in translating ambiguous executive intent into durable governance structures that survive leadership transitions.

Expectations

I'm looking for principal-level technology consulting roles where I advise executive teams on governance architecture, operating model design, and portfolio decision structures. My ideal engagement is diagnostic and constructive not staff augmentation. I'm most effective when brought in to solve a specific structural problem: a PMO that isn't working, a portfolio that's lost signal integrity, an operating model that doesn't connect strategy to execution. Fully remote from Washington State with minimal travel. I prefer consulting firms or internal advisory practices that value practitioner depth over methodology sales.
