Experienced leadership for the moments that change a business.
I'm a digital transformation executive with 20+ years leading enterprise-wide change inside a Fortune 500 company, across divisions from $1B to $45B in revenue. I get brought in at the inflection points: M&A integration, cloud and platform migration, global scale-up. Then I build the strategy, the team, and the governance to get through them.
Where I've led
Kellanova integration
Leading digital integration for Mars' acquisition of Kellanova, one of the largest deals in CPG history: 145+ projects and nearly 50 go-lives.
CIO, Mars Wrigley North America
Owned the division's digital transformation agenda with a ~75-person team and $22M budget, through the largest systems change in the business.
Countries, built from zero
Founded Mars' first Global Security Center of Excellence and grew it to a $12M budget and 20-person team operating in 80 countries.
Liberty Mutual cloud move
Led the technology, performance and compliance workstream for the move from datacenter to cloud across 1,000+ applications and 90+ Agile teams.
Governance ahead of the shift
As CISO for Mars Petcare, rebuilt security governance and stood up Mars' Generative AI governance framework so the business could adopt AI responsibly.
IAPP growth
As founding-era CTO, built the entire technology function behind the association's growth from 2,000 to more than 25,000 members.
Consulting or full-time
Same experience, different shape. Pick what fits the problem.
Select consulting engagements
For moments when growth, transformation, or a major technology decision demands experienced leadership.
- Strategic Advisory. Direct counsel to leadership as the business navigates growth, transformation, and important technology decisions.
- Transformation & Integration. Assessments, roadmaps, and acquisition integration planning that turn strategy into an executable plan.
- Fractional CIO / Interim Leadership. Hands-on technology leadership during a transition, a search, or a growth inflection point.
No fixed methodology. No team of consultants. I work directly with leadership: pressure-testing assumptions, cutting scope that doesn't need to exist yet, and building a roadmap your team can run without outside help.

WodWatts
Any workout, one number: average watts. WodWatts turns lifts, gymnastics, jumps, rowing and running into joules of work, so you can compare a 5-minute couplet with a 20-minute chipper, or yourself with a friend using watts per kilogram.
