MBA - MIS
  • Senior Technology & Operations Executive | Digital Transformation, DevOps & Security
  • Cloud Migration Expert | M&A Integration | Business Operations | Multi-Cloud Architecture

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 a 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 architect IT systems that support business growth, reduce operational friction, deliver measurable results, and maintain a strong security posture.

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.
