Execution Across Complexity

Technology decisions your school can stand behind.

I spent 25 years inside schools — the classroom, a district, a statewide programme and full operational leadership. Now I help schools make technology and AI decisions they can defend to a board, a budget and a parent. When nothing off the shelf fits, I build the software.

25 years inside real schools.

I've run the systems inside schools, from one classroom to an entire state. Now I help yours work.

Case file 01 · Full operational leadership

Carrabassett Valley Academy

Director of Academics & Educational Technology

Managed the full operational learning ecosystem of a private high school: faculty, curriculum, scheduling, budgeting, and student programming. Launched a 1:1 iPad program and built the daily operational systems that kept a complex school aligned.

Case file 02 · Systems modernisation

Aeon School

Systems & Customer Experience Director

Replaced legacy helpdesk infrastructure and built automation workflows for enrollment, finance, and family communications inside a school with high design and product expectations. Rebuilt the learner experience from intake to graduation.

Case file 03 · District-scale deployment

Salem Public Schools

Director of Digital Learning

Led a districtwide 1:1 Chromebook initiative: hardware procurement, software budgeting, curriculum integration, and professional development at scale. Managed vendor relationships and technology strategy across a full public school district.

Case file 04 · Statewide programme

Maine Learning Technology Initiative

Regional Integration Mentor

Supported the statewide program that placed an Apple laptop in the hands of every middle schooler in Maine. Helped individual schools absorb new technology infrastructure without disrupting learning culture or operations.

Serious technology. No one owning the strategy.

01

No AI policy, and parents are already asking.

Staff are experimenting without guardrails, and the board wants answers.

02

Dozens of tools. No system.

Overlapping subscriptions, and staff spending hours on workarounds instead of on students.

03

Every tech decision feels like a guess.

No roadmap, and no criteria for what to buy, cut or keep.

What I do for schools

Three ways to start.

Free · 24 hours

Executive Tech Report

A human-reviewed snapshot across five areas: AI readiness, software waste, workflow friction, privacy and risk, and systems sustainability. Then a 30-minute conversation about what to do next.

Ongoing

Fractional CTO

Strategic technology leadership without the full-time hire, or a strategic partner for the tech lead you already have. A roadmap, purchasing and vendor decisions, board-ready answers, and systems your staff can actually run.

How it works

For leadership teams and staff, any size

AI policy & tech leadership training

Practical sessions that leave your school with an AI governance framework you can show parents and your board, and a staff that knows how to use it.

Ask about training

I don't just advise on school technology. I build it.

Microschools & homeschools

LENS

In pilot · 2026–27

A pedagogy-first operating system for small schools of 15–150 students. It's in pilot this year with a 120-student independent school in Canada and a homeschool community, with full launch planned for 2027.

Oral assessment

SayVeritas

Free to try

Students explain their thinking out loud; teachers review AI-drafted, rubric-aligned scores. It was named by The AI Educator as one of the best AI tools for high-school teachers in 2026.

Start with the report.

Five minutes of intake. A human-reviewed report within 24 hours. A 30-minute conversation. Then you decide whether ongoing support makes sense. No obligation either way.
