Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about working with me

How quickly can you start?

I typically can begin new engagements within 1-2 weeks of contract signing. For urgent needs, I may be able to accommodate faster start dates depending on my current commitments.

What industries do you work with?

My primary expertise is in biotech, healthcare, and regulated industries, but my approach to technology leadership and portfolio management translates well across sectors. I've successfully worked with financial services, government agencies, and technology companies.

How do you measure success?

Success metrics are defined at the beginning of each engagement based on your specific objectives. These might include cost savings, efficiency improvements, successful project delivery, or capability enhancements. I provide regular progress updates and a final assessment against these metrics.

What size organizations do you work with?

I work with organizations ranging from growth-stage startups to mid-sized enterprises. My sweet spot is companies with 50-500 employees that need sophisticated technology leadership but may not require or be ready for a full-time CIO.

What happens after our engagement ends?

I design all engagements with sustainability in mind. This includes comprehensive documentation, knowledge transfer, and training for your team. I also offer post-engagement support options to ensure continued success.

Are you available for full-time roles?

Yes, I'm open to full-time CIO, IT Director, or Portfolio Management leadership roles with organizations that value execution, clarity, and results-focused leadership. Feel free to contact me to discuss potential opportunities.
