Strategic IT & Cybersecurity Consultant for Executive Teams
Executive clarity, prioritization, and roadmaps, plus SOW/RFP-ready specifications that enable structured execution through internal teams or vendors.
- Risk-based prioritization
- 30/60/90-day roadmaps
- Governance + vendor oversight
- SOW/RFP-ready specifications
Who it's for
I work with executive teams in growing organizations (10-200+ employees), with or without an internal IT function. This is for when you need clarity, prioritization, and control over IT and security decisions.
- leadership wants decisions based on risk, budget, and an execution plan
- vendor/licensing/tool sprawl exists with no single source of truth
- IT/CTO is overloaded with delivery and needs prioritization and oversight
When it becomes urgent
- budgets grow without control, and vendors/licensing aren't managed systematically
- after major change: funding, growth, M&A, cloud transition, leadership change
- a security incident, audit, or customer/regulatory pressure
- decisions get stuck between IT, security, and vendors, with no clear roadmap owner
What you get
Outputs designed to turn decisions into an execution plan: structure, ownership, dependencies, and success metrics.
- executive current-state clarity + prioritized risk map
- a 30/60/90-day roadmap with milestones and dependencies
- SOW/RFP-ready specifications for structured quotes and execution
- vendor/SLA/budget oversight with KPIs and optimization recommendations
- governance recommendations (including M365 governance when relevant)
- a cyber awareness workshop with measurable behavior/reporting metrics
