Hi.

For the last 22 years I have served public and private clients, eventually founding and selling three companies in the travel, technology consulting, and digital loyalty spaces.

Quandary.

Have you noticed that a lot of vendor consulting technical approaches / pitches look very similar? I have sold over $1B in services and go-to-market product funding using an approach that takes those technical decks and re-imagines them using a marketing approach that took me 8 years to master.

I help your client to sell the lifestyle of their technical vision to their funding decision makers.

Different Perspective.

What I can do for you is turn your technical deck into a board level TED Talk that your stakeholders can talk to and, with some coaching, procure your desired projects within their organizations and increase your program size.

(it can also stabilize your requirements if you have a constant moving target scenario).

History.

I used to run a cloud computing podcast with a couple of subscribers (2M), do you have anything to say on the world stage about technology? Me too.

My operations chops come from being system CTO of what is now an $18B in revenue/yr, 24 hospital healthcare system, transforming it from federated data centers to the cloud involving: network, storage, compute, security compliance and control, business associate agreements with cloud providers, applications, services, business activity monitoring and more.

My journey on the way to Accenture brought me into roles with responsibility over digital loyalty / behavior change for at-risk populations. I've designed launched and measured the results of population health programs for: diabetes, wellness, aging / autonomy, COPD, and pregnancy. Our method? Prochaska and DiClemente's Transtheoretical Model of Change, Cialdini's 6 Motivators, and B.J. Foggs' goal-specific hurdles. I've, of course, improved it beyond the original art.

Outside.

My wife and I connect benefactors to museums that promote science and diversity, and we'd love to talk about that if anyone is interested in hearing the story. We have three kids: Berilynn, Wolfgang, and Kitriana. In my spare time I try to teach them how to play guitar and piano even though I'm a sax player - it is what it is :-)
