Board & Strategic Advisory

An experienced perspective on technology and organizational decisions.

I bring an operator’s view to board and strategic-advisory work: how technology, governance, risk, and operating reality fit together when the decision cannot be delegated to a slide deck.

The relationships.

Board candidacy, advisory-board relationships, and bounded strategic counsel are distinct forms of fit. Each begins with the role, relationship, or decision in front of the institution.

Where I fit.

Healthcare and health technology. Vertical software. Mission-driven and diaspora-led institutions. Situations where technology, transformation, risk, and operating discipline are central to the mandate.

The public record.

Past President, SIM Research Triangle. Chair, Tech for Africa. These are public-service roles, distinct from corporate board service.

The boundary.

This is person-led governance judgment or bounded strategic counsel. Organizational AI delivery belongs with Missio Systems; hospital technology delivery belongs with Stratevora Technologies.

Every conversation begins with role, independence, capacity, and conflict fit. A seat or advisory relationship starts only after written agreement and required review.
