Leading the enterprise IT function for a clinical-stage biotech. Fourteen years building and running technology functions in regulated environments.
I run the IT function for a clinical-stage biotechnology company. With fourteen years of progressive experience across military, financial services, and life sciences, I own infrastructure, enterprise systems, identity and access, the cybersecurity partnership, and the governance and budget that hold them together.
My approach focuses on getting things done - building teams, governing vendors, and making sure technology delivers on time and on budget. Whether leading $4M+ infrastructure programs across multiple sites, standing up governance from nothing, or carrying a technology function through an M&A transition, I deliver reliable results in demanding environments.
From hands-on technical work in my military service to leading enterprise IT in pharmaceutical and biotech environments, my career shows steady growth toward greater responsibility and organizational impact. I excel where the problem is messy and clear communication and systematic execution make the difference.
Practical solutions with proven portfolio leadership, program governance, and infrastructure expertise
I establish governance frameworks, manage stakeholder relationships, and create portfolio visibility that enables data-driven decision making. I have experience building PMOs from the ground up and managing $10M+ portfolios.
I lead multi-million dollar infrastructure programs and manage day-to-day IT operations. My experience includes facilities technology, network infrastructure, enterprise systems, and leading service delivery teams in regulated environments.
I own the IT function end to end: service delivery, vendor and managed-service governance, budget ownership, and the business partnership that keeps technology aligned with what the company actually needs.
