Experience
Managing Director
Jun 2025 — Present · Charlottesville, VA, US
PraxisAdvisors specializes in guiding senior leaders through the high-stakes complexity of corporate IT divestitures, spin-outs, and restructuring. For over 30 years, I have been a trusted advisor to Fortune 100 companies and federal agencies, translating economic adversity into opportunities for value preservation and sustainable growth. Our experience is rooted in hands-on execution, from managing an end-to-end IT divestiture process for assets valued at $1.3B to architecting post-merger strategies that delivered $34M in first-year cost synergies.Traditional consulting offerings aren\'t always the right fit for today\'s dynamic market. That\'s why PraxisAdvisors has distilled our collective experience into a suite of digital products and advisory services designed for flexibility and impact. Our goal is to make elite-level divestiture expertise more accessible, helping you de-risk the separation process and accelerate the stand-up of new entities.Our offerings include:Project/Program Initiation, Management, & Rescue/Recovery: Full Life-Cycle project management services.Divestiture Readiness Assessments: A fixed-scope analysis to evaluate your portfolio and create a strategic roadmap, informed by successes like identifying and eliminating $53M in non-strategic capital expenditures.Fractional CIO Advisory: On-demand executive guidance for spin-off entities, drawing from my direct experience serving as an acting CIO to ensure seamless operational transitions and providing interim CIO/CTO-level advisory services to senior leaders.IT Divestiture Execution Playbooks: Digital toolkits of KPI-driven governance models and best practices to empower your internal teams to execute with confidence.If you are a leader contemplating a divestiture, navigating an active separation, or scaling a new spin-off, let\'s connect. I can help you achieve a clean separation and position your enterprise for long-term success.
