I partner with enterprises to rescue stalled IT projects to drive ROI and EBITDA increases of up to 20% using the A2X™ Method, without the full-time CIO overhead. | IT Project Rescue Leader | Fractional CIO
About
If your $2 million IT project is 60 days behind and everyone’s pointing fingers, this is for you.
The problem isn’t your tech. It’s:
↳ Bloated scopes and stalled delivery
↳ Vendors overpromising and underdelivering
↳ Budgets burned with no visible ROI
↳ Projects that “almost work” but never go live
After 25+ years leading multimillion-dollar programs across McKinsey, AWS, Coca-Cola, Caesars Gaming, Turner Broadcasting, and Airbus, I’ve seen how quickly good projects derail when no one owns execution.
That’s why I created the A2X™ Method (Ability-to-Execute), a 90-day rescue and acceleration framework that helps SMBs get stalled initiatives back on track, recover up to $2M in lost value, and unlock up to 20% annual revenue growth, without hiring a full-time CIO.
What’s Included
🔹 Project Reverse-Engineering - Identify your top three delivery blockers, prioritized by dollar and time impact.
🔹 Execution War Room - 30-minute weekly C-suite syncs and a live timeline and RAID dashboard (Risks, Actions, Issues, Decisions).
🔹 Delivery Team Sync - Align vendors, offshore/onshore delivery teams, restore daily progress, and rebuild stakeholder confidence.
🔹 Cash-Out Momentum - Tie every milestone to measurable ROI, revenue unlocked, savings captured, and efficiency gained.
Why Projects Need Rescuing?
1. Leadership Void
❌ “We assumed the vendor was running it.” → ✔️ I take ownership and restore governance and confidence in the plan.
2. Scope & Complexity Overload
❌ “Too many meetings… no progress.” → ✔️ I streamline and refocus efforts to deliver outcomes in 90 days.
3. Technology-Vendor Misalignment
❌ “This isn’t what we were promised.” → ✔️ I reset direction and re-establish accountability.
📈 Proven Results:
↳ 95%+ on-time milestone delivery, modeled after turnaround programs delivered for Turner Sports & RNDC.
↳ Up to 30% EBITDA/revenue uplift from rock-solid product launches and digital channel execution, proven in programs with Coca-Cola & Interface.
↳ Up to 30% annual savings, including $12M/year saved at Interface Global through IT convergence and vendor optimization.
↳ Zero new hires or tool replacements required, replicating the “optimize what you have” model used with SunteckTTS & Orion Technology Services.
✔️ Guarantee
If the program is not measurably back on track by Day 90, my time is free until we achieve that.
