Stabilising Technology, Modernising Platforms, and Delivering Change That Lands

Rocco is a senior strategic technology leader with 25+ years of experience stabilising IT services, modernising platforms, and delivering complex digital transformation across professional services (finance & security), public sector, and education.

He is known for stepping into complex or pressured situations, quickly understanding the current state, diagnosing delivery and operational risk, and translating strategy into practical, executable roadmaps that restore control, resilience, and confidence. His calm, people-first leadership style balances board-level priorities with hands-on execution — ensuring change not only starts, but lands and sustains.

Rocco’s expertise spans Azure and M365 modernisation, cyber security uplift, ITIL-aligned service management, data and BI platforms, pragmatic AI enablement, and SaaS product ownership. Across every engagement, the focus is consistent: build strong foundations, empower teams, and align technology to real business outcomes and long-term value.

How I can help your business

• Technology Strategy & Service Stabilisation
  Leads rapid IT service reviews to assess operating models, delivery risk, cost efficiency, and resilience — creating clear strategies and prioritised roadmaps that restore stability, confidence, and performance.
• Cloud, Platform & Modern Workplace Transformation
  Delivers Azure and M365 migrations, infrastructure modernisation, and DR/BCP improvements — balancing security, reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency while enabling modern ways of working.
• Cyber Security, Risk & Resilience
  Strengthens cyber posture through pragmatic uplift programmes, governance, and policy alignment — supporting secure operations and regulatory expectations without unnecessary complexity or disruption.
• Data Insight, AI Enablement & SaaS Product Delivery
  Designs and delivers data and BI platforms, system integrations, pragmatic AI enablement, and full-lifecycle SaaS product ownership — turning insight, automation, and product thinking into measurable business value.

Why Work with Rocco?
If your organisation needs to stabilise IT, modernise cloud and security foundations, or deliver transformation that genuinely lands, Rocco brings the strategic clarity, delivery discipline, and leadership presence to make it happen. He thrives in environments where complexity must be simplified, trust rebuilt, and execution aligned tightly to business outcomes.

He is particularly effective in interim and fractional leadership roles, where speed, structure, and credibility matter — and where technology must move from being a risk to becoming an enabler of confident growth.
