My Approach

Most businesses don't need more technology. They need strategic guidance on which technology to implement, when, and how. After 50+ years leading technology at companies like Sony, Canon, and Thermo Electron, I've learned that success comes from aligning technology decisions with business objectives—not chasing the latest shiny object.

That's why iGloo Digital Services exists: to provide fractional CTO-level leadership and hands-on marketing automation expertise to growing businesses who need both strategic thinking and tactical execution. You get the experience of a Fortune 500 technology executive applied to your specific challenges, without the full-time executive salary.
