So Far.
"Cloud Consigliere" wasn't a title I gave myself — it was given to me by a client who couldn't bring me in for the actual migration work due to internal politics, but valued my perspective enough to keep me involved anyway. As their advisor, reviewer, and trusted second opinion throughout the entire process, the nickname stuck. It's been my personal brand ever since, and honestly, it captures what I do better than any job title could. (Fortunately, cloudconsigliere.com was available.)
With 20+ years in enterprise IT, I've guided organizations through 500+ projects across hundreds of organizations — spanning a wide range of industry verticals and organization sizes, from ambitious mid-market companies to large enterprises. My approach bridges the technical, business, and operational dimensions of cloud strategy — helping leadership make confident decisions and helping technical teams execute them well.
