When IT costs escalate, projects derail or governance breaks down

CIOs and CFOs call me when a situation needs clear analysis, fast decisions, and independent steering – not another framework or slide deck.

Sound familiar?

IT costs are rising, but nobody can explain why. A vendor audit has been announced, and internally, people are nervous. A transformation program is behind schedule and over budget. Cloud spending is growing faster than the value it delivers.

These situations rarely have a single root cause. But they have one thing in common: at some point, internal troubleshooting isn't enough. You need someone from the outside who creates clarity fast – and doesn't spend three months writing an analysis first.

20+ years between boardroom and server room

I don't come from theory. I've been on both sides of the table – as an IT executive in international corporations and as an independent sparring partner for CIOs and CFOs across Europe and the Middle East.

What sets me apart: I speak both business and IT. I'm not tied to any vendor. And I focus on results, not billing hours.

Typical situations

IT costs out of control – Budgets are exploding, but nobody knows exactly where the money goes. Happens more often than you'd think.

Critical projects in trouble – The program is escalating, stakeholders are losing confidence, the timeline is history. A classic.

Vendor audit announced – Oracle, Microsoft, or SAP get in touch. Internal reaction: panic. Unnecessary, if you're prepared.

Governance vacuum – Nobody knows who makes IT decisions, who steers, and who's accountable. Everyone points at everyone else.

Let’s talk

Most of my engagements start with a 30-minute conversation. No pitch, no presentation – just an honest look at your situation.
