Working together
How I Work
Results-focused pricing, direct access, and honest guidance. Here's what working with me looks like.
How I Price My Work
I price around results, not hours. When the scope is clear, you get a fixed price agreed before work begins. Some work can't be fully scoped up front: discovery, or projects that depend on vendors delivering their part. For those I bill hourly, with an estimate and a cap I won't go past without your approval, and regular updates so you always know where things stand. For longer projects, I tie part of my fee to reaching agreed milestones, so you're paying for progress, not just time. Either way, the goal is the same: solving the problem, not running up the clock.
A Different Kind of Consultant
I spent my career on the inside, as the person accountable for security and IT. I've owned the risk, answered to leadership and regulators, and delivered on deadlines that didn't move. I bring that same ownership to every client I work with. My measure of success isn't hours logged or reports delivered. It's whether your business is in a stronger position because we worked together.
Built for Long-Term Partnerships
I intentionally work with a small number of clients. That allows me to learn your business, understand your priorities, and become a trusted part of how you make decisions. Some relationships start with a focused project. The best ones grow into ongoing partnerships.
What You Can Count On
Clear pricing up front. A fixed price when the scope is clear; an estimate and a cap when it isn't. No surprise invoices.
Direct access to me. The person you hire is the person who does the work.
Honest guidance. Including when something isn't worth the investment.
Results ahead of schedule. That's been the pattern of my career.
Is This the Right Fit?
If you're looking for the lowest bid or a one-time checkbox, I'm probably not the right choice. If you want a partner who treats your business like his own and is invested in your long-term success, let's talk.
