Hi, I’m Carson.
I’m a consulting CTO, CISO, and startup advisor.
Here’s how I help startups and enterprises succeed with technology, security, and business strategy.
CTO Engagements
I deliver fractional CTO leadership for startups, and help them make the right CTO hire when they’re ready. I also consult for larger enterprises on projects to extend, optimize, refactor, and replatform their existing technologies. Recent efforts have focused on SaaS delivery platforms, IaaS migration, application containerization, and microservices.
CISO Engagements
I lead security teams as interim CISO, and develop new or improve existing information security and compliance programs. Project focus often includes policies & technical standards, general security architecture, targeted countermeasures, control technology selection, vendor evaluation, deployment planning, team building, and CISO hiring.
Startup Advisory Support
I work with startup teams on a range of business issues like product strategy, competitive differentiation, go-to-market, strategic planning, and fundraising. I perform due diligence and act as a fixer for VCs and other investors. I offer mentoring - based on real-world experience - to founders and management teams, helping them navigate the demands and challenges of a growing startup.
Let’s Talk.
