Hey, I'm Mike. I'm an enterprise and systems architect.
I advise on business and technology strategy, identifying and planning for risk, and creating new opportunities by building the knowledge and capabilities organizations need to move with confidence.
While bootstrapping Index Zero, I'm setting aside dedicated time for on-demand advisory work. You can hire me by the hour or by the day as an external perspective, sense maker, problem solver, or system designer.
