Services I Provide
I help technology leaders and organizations reduce risk, strengthen execution, and accelerate value from their technology investments. Whether you're preparing for an acquisition, scaling AI responsibly, or elevating your IT leadership and delivery practices, I deliver independent, battle-tested expertise with clear, actionable outcomes.
AI Risk Assessment
I conduct comprehensive, enterprise-grade AI risk assessments that go far beyond basic compliance checklists. Using a blend of NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, and custom frameworks tailored to your industry, I identify technical, operational, legal, regulatory, ethical, and reputational risks across your AI initiatives.
What you receive:
- •A prioritized risk register with likelihood, impact ratings
- •Gap analysis against current controls and governance
- •Clear mitigation roadmaps with ownership and timelines
- •Executive summary and board-level presentation materials
- •Optional ongoing monitoring and quarterly re-assessments
Clients use this service before major AI deployments, during vendor evaluations, or to satisfy investor, regulator, or insurance requirements. The result is confidence that your AI programs are both innovative and defensible.
Technical Due Diligence
I perform independent, deep-dive technical due diligence for private equity, venture capital, M&A, and strategic investors. My reviews are known for being thorough yet pragmatic — I focus on what actually matters to valuation, integration risk, and post-deal success.
What you receive:
- •Architecture & scalability assessment
- •Code quality, technical debt, and IP ownership analysis
- •Security posture and compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA, etc.)
- •Engineering team capability and capacity review
- •Cloud/infrastructure cost & vendor lock-in analysis
- •Product roadmap realism and technical feasibility
- •Red-flag summary with remediation cost estimates
You get a concise report plus a 60-minute findings workshop with your deal team. Clients tell me my reports have directly influenced purchase price adjustments or walk-away decisions.
IT Leadership Guidance, Coaching & Review
Whether you're a first-time CTO, a seasoned CIO stepping into a larger role, or a VP of Engineering looking to level up, I provide confidential, high-impact guidance and coaching.
What you receive:
- •1:1 executive coaching (typically 6–12 month engagements)
- •360-degree leadership reviews with customized development plans
- •IT organizational design and operating model reviews
- •Crisis leadership support during major incidents or transformations
- •Preparation for board presentations and investor updates
- •Succession planning and key-person risk mitigation
I've coached leaders through everything from hyper-growth scale-ups to post-merger integrations. The focus is always on increasing your strategic influence, building high-performing teams, and improving your personal and organizational effectiveness.
Agile & Scrum Review
I help organizations move beyond "we do stand-ups" to genuinely high-performing, outcome-focused Agile delivery. My Agile/Scrum Reviews are not audits that leave you with a long list of theoretical improvements — they are practical maturity assessments with immediate, high-ROI action plans.
What you receive:
- •Delivery cadence, predictability, and throughput
- •Team health, psychological safety, and engineering practices
- •Scrum/Kanban/ScrumBan effectiveness and anti-patterns
- •Portfolio and program-level governance
- •Tooling utilization vs. actual value
- •Metrics that matter (vs. vanity metrics)
You receive a visual maturity radar, prioritized recommendations, and a 90-day implementation roadmap. Many clients see 20–40% improvements in velocity and predictability within the first two quarters after the review.
Why Work With Me
All four services are delivered with the same philosophy: independent, evidence-based, and immediately actionable. No slide decks full of buzzwords — just clear findings, real numbers, and practical next steps you can start using immediately.
