About
Twenty-five years at the intersection of technology and business. Not as a developer. As someone who reads an organization, understands how its technology supports or constrains it, and tells the executive what he actually has.
I’ve been CTO and CIO in demanding environments — ultra-low latency finance, SaaS video, industrial IoT, telecoms — before founding Privateer. A tech advisory firm for non-technical executives.
This blog is where I think out loud. About decisions made under incomplete information. About organizations that run on accumulated fragility. About the gap between what executives see — the plates — and what actually happens in the kitchen.
It’s not a Privateer pitch. It’s how I process what I observe.
What I do
At Privateer, I work with CEOs and founders of SMEs and ETIs who face technical decisions they don’t fully control. I’m not a fractional CTO. I don’t embed in teams. I give executives a clear reading of their information system before they hire, invest, or restructure.
Concretely: IS audits, technical architecture arbitration, technical due diligence pre-investment, and ongoing advisory for non-technical executives who need a trusted outside read.
Fast. Structured. No conflict of interest.
Where I’ve been
Former CTO/CIO at Actility, Enyx, api.video, Exegy, Oxeva and Cedexis. Twenty years of technical leadership across infrastructure, distributed systems, and international engineering teams.
The full trajectory is on the resume page.
What this blog is not
It’s not a guide to cloud optimization, technical debt reduction, or how to choose a CTO. That’s everybody else’s content.
It’s a practitioner’s perspective from the executive chair. The only territory nobody else can hold with the same legitimacy.
If something here resonates, or if you’re facing a technical decision you want a second read on — book a call.
