I've spent 20 years leading technology operations from the inside, most recently as a CIO overseeing IT strategy, AI enablement, and cloud infrastructure across the US and Europe.
Now I help businesses get that same caliber of leadership without the full-time hire.
Most of my career has been spent inside organizations, not advising from the outside. I've held CIO and IT Director roles in healthcare, legal, and professional services, responsible for everything from infrastructure and security to cloud architecture, vendor strategy, and board-level reporting. I've scaled technology operations through rapid growth, led enterprise AI rollouts, and maintained 99.99% uptime across a 20-year track record. When COVID hit, the organizations I led transitioned to remote work overnight with zero downtime, because the infrastructure was already built for it.
I started Bluefox because I saw companies overpaying for reactive IT and getting nothing strategic in return. That hasn't changed. What has changed is the complexity: AI, cloud migration, cyber insurance, remote work architecture. These are executive decisions, not help desk tickets. Bluefox exists to make sure someone with real operational experience is at the table when those decisions get made.
