I'd rather find the reason to say no early.

I'm Bryan Wall. For more than 20 years I've led IT operations, cybersecurity, and transformation work for organizations ranging from small businesses to global operations.

My background is unusual for a technology leader: I came up through both strategic finance and IT. That means I read a budget the way your CFO does, and I explain technology decisions in terms of cost, risk, and return. I've also owned and run my own businesses, so I know what it feels like when every dollar of IT spend has to earn its keep.

How I work

Most consultants are trained to find a reason to say yes. I'd rather find the reason to say no early, so the yes, when it comes, actually means something.

I've had executives thank me for telling them "not yet," because it saved them a six figure engagement they weren't positioned to use well. When I do take on a client, it's because I'm confident I can make a measurable difference.

Where I focus

• IT operations across on-premises, virtual, and cloud environments
• Cybersecurity, compliance, data governance, and disaster recovery
• Vendor and contract negotiation, cost management, and IT budgeting
• IT strategy and roadmaps tied to business goals
• Leading and coaching teams across locations

• Negotiated vendor contracts saving 18 to 23% while strengthening implementation support
• Delivered IT implementation projects at 90%+ on time and on budget
• Built disaster recovery with 4 to 8 hour recovery times for critical systems and 95%+ test success
• Drove security awareness to under 5% ongoing phishing simulation failure rates
