About Michael H.

I build enterprise IT organizations, transform technology operations, and deliver the programs that matter most — on time, with zero disruption, and zero critical incidents.Over 20 years I’ve led large-scale digital transformations across healthcare, government, financial services, and Fortune 500 environments. I’ve served as CIO, IT Director, Program Director, and Fractional CISO — sometimes all at once.What I’m known for: • Building IT organizations from scratch — including rebuilding a 30-person team from near-zero after 95% attrition• Founding the enterprise QA Competency Center at CommonSpirit Health — a 22-person organization managing a 10-year,$64M+ Cerner EHR implementation across 90+ hospitals with zero critical incidents• Leading enterprise technology as CIO at Sun Life Health — $5M budget, 14 clinical sites, 800+ devices, CEO and Board reporting• Architecting Zero Trust frameworks at multiple organizations and leading cybersecurity incident command during live breaches• Recovering failing programs — from a 2-month Elections Center turnaround to rescuing SRP’s M-Power platform for 1M+ customers• Executing CJIS compliance in 60 days, delivering PCI-DSS validation for TSYS, and maintaining a federal security clearance at the US Treasury My background spans healthcare (Banner Health, CommonSpirit, Sun Life, Ascension), government (Coconino County, US Treasury), financial services (TSYS), utilities (Salt River Project), and technology (Google, Avnet) — which means I’ve seen what enterprise IT looks like across the full spectrum of organizational maturity, urgency, and complexity. I’m currently open to CIO, IT Director, Program Director, and senior technology leadership roles — as well as fractional and consulting engagements where organizations need executive-level IT leadership without a full-time hire.If you’re building something, transforming something, or trying to recover something — let’s connect.
