About



Possessing a unique and potent combination of technology and business expertise, I bring a well-balanced view of how technology can enable business performance.  In these times of economic uncertainty it is more important than ever to make sound decisions when applying new technologies to business problems – or simply improving the efficiency and effectiveness of your business processes using the technology at hand.   My deep experience gives me tools to make those critical, and often tough decisions.  Headquartered in Silicon Valley, I have direct connection to the heartbeat of Information Technology innovation – and those who envision the future.  Through my consulting company, SummaLogic, I can connect your critical business needs to a variety of industry expertise.

Technology is just an enabler of social interaction and business processes.  Understanding how and when technology should be applied to improve those interactions and processes is key to making them more efficient and effective, while at the same time maintaining a healthy mix of positive tension between business and techology to ensure that an innovative and creative environment is maintained – and nurtured.

Delivering products and IT services to Global 10/100/1000 companies such as General Motors, Xerox, Motorola, Inland Revenue,  the Government of South Australia and Lockheed Martin, I offer a rich set of core competencies – strategic innovation, leadership, customer and alliance management, IT operations, product development –  that jump start and accelerate companies’ IT and business improvement initiatives.   Holding an Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) V3 Foundation certification, I bring the added dimension of understanding how governance, policy and processes provide the framework and discipline required to realize tangible, measurable results.

Technology and business processes are good, but people and leadership are what make companies great.  Many times throughout my career I have been tasked with the tough challenges – whether it be creating new organizations, improving customer relations, leading key corporate initiatives, building alliances or simply helping people be successful during uncertain times.  In each of those situations strong leadership made the difference.   Let me show you how my leadership can make your company stand out!
