Plenty of hard work, but nobody leading the technology
If your organization has 20 to 250 staff and relies on an outside IT company, a few of these may sound familiar.
You pay an IT bill every month and can't say exactly what it covers.
A board member asks about cybersecurity, and nobody has a confident answer.
Staff use ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini with no written rules.
Contracts renew on their own because nobody reviews them.
A cyber insurance form asks questions no one on staff can answer.
None of this means your leaders have failed. Usually the organization grew faster than anyone's oversight of its technology. That gap is where I work.
Senior technology leadership, sized for your organization
I serve as your part-time CTO. I set direction, make decisions with your leadership, and hold your vendors accountable. Your IT company and staff keep doing the hands-on work.
IT strategy and roadmap
You know what comes next and what it costs. I build a 12-month plan tied to your mission and your budget.
Vendor oversight
You know what your IT company does for your money. I review their work, contracts, and proposals, then give you a written recommendation.
AI use policy
Your staff know which AI tools are safe to use. I set clear rules, and your IT company puts them in place.
Board reporting
Your board gets straight answers. I deliver a one-page monthly scorecard and a quarterly report anyone can read.

Built for organizations with 50 to 250 staff
I work with executive directors, CEOs, and owners who pay an outside IT company and have no senior technology leader on staff.
Executive Technology Advisory, my membership, serves organizations from 20 staff.
I meet with clients in person across the Tallahassee region and work virtually with clients across Florida.
"Kenneth led and oversaw several projects ... that led to huge cost savings and immense organizational efficiencies. Kenneth is well organized. A team would be lucky to walk into an environment that he set up."
I turn technology questions into decisions leaders can make
I've led technology in media, government, education, healthcare, and telecom for more than 20 years. In those jobs, an outage or a privacy mistake had real consequences. I learned where problems tend to hide and why leaders often miss them. Now I offer that kind of leadership to smaller organizations, scaled to their size and budget.
