Profile

Digital transformation and business operations executive specializing in large-scale cloud migrations, DevOps, and enterprise security. Most recently served as Senior Director at one of the Midwest's largest healthcare systems—$8B organization with 34,000+ employees, 12 hospitals, and 1,500+ clinics—leading enterprise-wide cloud infrastructure, DevOps operations, and cybersecurity initiatives while managing 15-person technology leadership team and delivering $1.2M in cost savings through strategic vendor negotiations and infrastructure automation.

What sets me apart: Hands-on experience leading both technology and business operations—including directing a 200+ member inside sales organization and optimizing enterprise operations. I understand how to architect IT systems that directly enable business growth, reduce operational friction, and drive measurable outcomes while maintaining robust security postures.

Specialties include digital transformation initiatives, cloud architecture and migrations (AWS, Azure, GCP), DevOps culture and tooling (CI/CD, automation, IaC), enterprise security frameworks (HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, SOX, GDPR, ISO 27001), M&A technology integration, infrastructure at scale, and operational excellence. Currently providing strategic consulting while actively pursuing Senior Director and VP of IT opportunities where I can drive enterprise-wide transformation and align technology strategy with business objectives.

Beyond the corporate world, I'm passionate about mentoring emerging technology leaders, and I serve as an emergency volunteer responder and licensed amateur radio operator for my community.
