From Marine Corps crash fire rescue to running technology across a global fleet. The work is keeping vessels connected, offices standardized, and distributed operations running while none of those operations are allowed to stop.
USMC Crash Fire & Rescue. The Marine who runs toward the burning aircraft, not away from it. That life-safety training carried straight into IT: protect the operation, respond under pressure, and never assume a system will hold without someone making sure it does.
Moving vessels. Remote offices. Seasonal surges. Crews who need connectivity where it barely exists. The work is reliability in environments that punish assumptions, designed and operated by a team that has had to recover the system at two in the morning more than once.
A standard is not a document. A standard is what every technician can walk into and recognize, in any port, on any vessel. The team I built can deploy to that standard from day one and maintain it across the fleet without growing the support burden linearly with the footprint.
A voluntary career development program that grew cross-departmental, with C-suite speakers volunteering their personal time quarterly. Peak attendance: 37 out of 100 IT employees. People show up because they want to.
If you are leading technology at scale and looking for a peer who has run it, the easiest way to start a conversation is below.
