The problem
Digital leadership is essential. Full-time is rarely practical.
In today's AI-driven environment, businesses must move quickly while making sound technology decisions. Many organizations are not ready to hire a permanent CIO, yet many still need one. They need to navigate growth, transformation, and the day-to-day complexity of running IT in China, where regulation, vendors, and integration realities each carry their own weight.
The result is a familiar pattern: tech decisions stall, vendor choices get made without a clear framework, and roadmaps drift away from the business strategy they were meant to serve.
What good looks like
Strategic clarity without adding executive headcount. Technology choices that actually move the business forward.
How I help
Three things, done with discipline.
No retainer-without-results. Each engagement is scoped around a clear set of deliverables tied to a measurable business outcome.

Initiative prioritization

Execution & governance

How it works
