Have a senior voice in the room
Fractional CTO, board advisor and experienced with technical due diligence. Someone who has run networks, signed contracts and answered to leadership.
Most networks are sold in pieces. Campus from one vendor, WAN from another, data center from a third, cloud from whoever the application team picked. Each piece gets designed well. The whole thing gets designed by accident.
I look at the whole network.
Thirty years of building and running networks, and I do not carry a product line. I can tell you the thing you already own is fine. I can tell you the project everyone is excited about is not worth doing. There is no quota behind anything I say.
What I do
Fewer surprises.
Fewer surprises.
Better decisions.
Build for what is next
Architecture, capacity, automation and where AI actually helps. A read on real solutions for real networks.
Spend less on connectivity
Transport, peering and carrier contracts. I can quote across carriers, negotiate the terms and stay on the account for the life of it.
Get a straight second opinion
Designs, vendor proposals, post-incident reviews. No product to sell you.
