I fix decision bottlenecks in tech teams and NetSuite-driven operations | Fractional CTO | Creator of The Decentralized A-Team Method (DCAT)

Las Vegas, United States

About

I went from 105-hour weeks and near-divorce to a 40-hour workweek, zero turnover, and no missed deadlines.

That crisis forced me to rebuild everything — my leadership style, my team, and my systems.

Now I operate in two lanes.

First, I help $5–$20M operators fix reporting chaos inside NetSuite.

If executives are arguing about numbers in Slack…

If margin shifts depending on who runs the report…

If dashboards exist but no one trusts them…

The problem isn’t charts.

It’s definition clarity and ownership.

I run a 21-day NetSuite Reporting Clarity Sprint that locks KPI definitions, builds 3 exec-ready dashboards, and eliminates the noise.

Second, I help technology leaders escape firefighter mode.

I’m the creator of The Decentralized A-Team Method (DCAT) — a leadership system designed to eliminate approval bottlenecks and build autonomous teams that execute without constant escalation.

Because whether it’s reporting chaos or team chaos, the root issue is the same:

Unclear decision ownership.

If you’re:

• A CFO or operator tired of metric disputes

• A CTO stuck as the approval layer

• A founder who wants clarity without burnout

We should talk.

Here’s how to start:

Need exec-ready NetSuite dashboards?

DM me “DASHBOARD.”

Stuck in firefighter mode?

DM me “FIREFIGHTER.”

Have insight tech leaders need to hear?

DM me “PODCAST.”

As the Founder and Executive Coach at Top Tier Coaching Services, I work exclusively with technology executives, CTOs, and founders to help them develop the leadership skills and systems needed to scale their companies—without sacrificing their sanity or personal life. Drawing on 20+ years of experience as a CTO, I created The Decentralized A-Team Method™, a proven framework that empowers leaders to build autonomous, high-performing teams capable of executing flawlessly—even when the leader steps away. Many of my coaching clients lead NetSuite teams—either as CTOs, ops leaders, or project managers. They use the Decentralized A-Team Method to reduce burnout, increase delivery speed, and build team autonomy inside high-pressure ERP environments. Whether they’re running SuiteScript-heavy orgs or managing complex NetSuite integrations, this framework helps them lead smarter without grinding harder. Through 1:1 coaching, group masterminds, and strategic consulting, I help clients master: • Decentralized team management • Remote leadership best practices • Purpose-driven communication and alignment • Agile collaboration and accountability systems • Work-life balance without sacrificing performance My mission is simple: Help tech leaders break free from being the bottleneck, eliminate burnout, and achieve scalable growth. If you’re ready to build a team that thrives without constant oversight, let’s connect.

Technology Consultant | CTO on Demand

Your Virtual CTO · North Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

Oct 2008 – Present(17 yrs 7 mos)

Many businesses today rely upon technology to survive, but they have no budget for a technology leader on their leadership team. This role tends to get handed to the leader who "knows the most" about technology. I've served as a CTO on demand (or Virtual CTO) for companies of all sizes. Some of the benefits of having a Virtual CTO for your company are: ‣ Access to an extremely knowledgeable technology consultant to answer your questions and give you guidance. ‣ Renewed focuses on the small details of your technology platform. ‣ Representation by a consultant who "speaks the language" of your tech team. ► Book a strategy session to discuss how a vCTO can change your business by going here https://GetYourVirtualCTO.com/StrategySession
