Fractional CIO | AI Strategist | Digital Transformation Leader

Bridging the Gap Between Legacy Operations and the Future of Technology.

With over 25 years of experience across the high-stakes worlds of Heavy Industrial Manufacturing, Healthcare, and Hospitality, I help organizations transform technology from a line-item expense into a strategic growth engine.

Throughout my career—from leading IT for multi-site healthcare facilities to driving digital evolution in industrial automation—I have specialized in one thing: simplifying the complex. I thrive at the intersection of "the way things have always been done" and "the way they need to be done to stay competitive."

Why Organizations Work With Me
In today’s market, mid-sized firms often find themselves at a crossroads. They’ve outgrown their current systems but aren’t ready for a full-time, high-level CIO. As a Fractional CIO and Strategic Advisor, I provide executive-level leadership on a flexible basis, helping businesses:

Implement Practical AI: As a NWIRC Certified AI Leader, I move past the hype to deploy AI strategies that actually improve manufacturing throughput, automate workflows, and drive ROI.

Scale Through M&A: I have a proven track record of leading technical integrations for over 18 facility acquisitions, ensuring that growth doesn't break the infrastructure.

Modernize Legacy Environments: Whether it’s a factory floor or a luxury resort, I specialize in bridging legacy hardware with modern, cloud-based, and AI-driven solutions.

Ensure Compliance & Security: With deep roots as a HIPAA Security Officer and IT Director for philanthropic foundations, I build "hardened" environments where data is both accessible and protected.

A Global Perspective with Local Grit
I am a bilingual leader (fluent in English and conversational Cantonese) who is as comfortable in a boardroom presenting to the C-Suite as I am on a shop floor discussing automation with engineers. Currently serving as the Director of IT for Gasbarre, I remain deeply embedded in the industrial sector, keeping my finger on the pulse of the technologies shaping the next decade of American manufacturing.

Let’s Build the Future
Whether you need a comprehensive IT audit, a roadmap for AI adoption, or steady executive leadership to navigate a period of transition, I am here to help you position your organization for long-term success.
