About Josh Luedeman
I help tech executives make better technology decisions without needing to be deep technologists. Most CIOs, CTOs, and VPs of Engineering face the same problem: they\'re responsible for multi-million dollar platform decisions, vendor partnerships, and AI strategies—but they\'re not in the code. They have to evaluate proposals, spot architectural debt disguised as \"innovation,\" and separate real solutions from expensive theater. That\'s where I come in. I\'m a Principal Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft, focused on manufacturing industry solutions and enterprise architecture. I\'ve spent 15+ years building and evaluating systems at scale—Azure, M365, data platforms, AI integrations. I understand how the technology actually works under the hood. But my job isn\'t to build your systems. It\'s to teach you how to evaluate them. I focus on: • Architecture thinking for non-architects • Vendor reality (why most \"strategic partnerships\" aren\'t strategic) • AI strategy (when it\'s the answer vs when it\'s expensive theater) • Security (actual security vs security theater) • Decision systems (how executives get sold solutions that create new problems) I\'m not interested in alignment theater or cosmetic transformation. I focus on helping executives ask the right questions, recognize patterns that lead to regret, and make technology decisions they won\'t need to undo in 18 months.
