## About

I help Australian SMEs access enterprise-level technology leadership, AI expertise and cybersecurity strategy without the cost of building a dedicated in-house executive team.

With over 20 years of experience in enterprise IT and technology leadership, I bring real-world expertise in fractional CIO services, cybersecurity risk management, AI strategy and governance, and ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 compliance.

My passion is making enterprise-level thinking accessible to growing businesses. I believe SMEs deserve the same quality of strategic advice, innovation and protection as large organisations, without unnecessary complexity, excessive costs or consulting jargon.

My approach is practical, commercially focused and grounded in real-world experience. I help businesses make smarter technology decisions, manage risk, adopt AI responsibly and turn technology into a genuine competitive advantage.

Enterprise experience. Practical advice. Real business outcomes.
