Fractional role
Strengths in this role: Translating technical architecture into business consequences for non-technical executives. Independent judgment — I assess and recommend without bidding on the implementation. Decisiveness under incomplete information. Forty years of pattern recognition across industries, which shortens diagnosis. Direct, plain-spoken communication with CEOs, CFOs and boards. Mentoring senior technical teams.

Company name: Dobler Consulting, Inc.
Company size: 1 employee
Role in this company: Fractional and advisory data leadership for companies from the mid-market to the Fortune 500. Architecture judgment without a full-time hire: platform and design decisions, governance and metric definitions, and independent second opinions before a company commits to an expensive build. Also three-week data readiness assessments producing an architecture map, lineage and data-quality findings, a prioritized 90-day roadmap, and a written go/no-go on the initiative behind it.
Strengths in this role: Leading large senior technical teams across multiple data centers and time zones. Vendor contract negotiation at enterprise scale. Setting standards that hold across distributed sites rather than one team. Operational discipline — measuring availability honestly and driving it to a documented 100%. Calm under production pressure. Translating infrastructure decisions into cost and risk terms executives act on.

Company size: 10,001 employees
Role in this company: Strategic database architecture, vendor contract negotiation, and leadership of senior DBA teams across a portfolio spanning Sybase, Oracle, SQL Server, Netezza, DB2, Informix and Redbrick. Enterprise-wide server configuration standards across all North American data centers. Previously Director of Database Technology at Nielsen Media Research, where I drove one flagship application's availability from 94% to a documented 100% annually.
Strengths in this role: Building and selling a business — took a two-person practice to 55 employees, the Inc. 5000, and an exit with every employee placed. Negotiating an acquisition to close entirely remotely, without a single in-person meeting. Hiring and retaining senior technical people in a market that competes hard for them. Reading the gap between what a company measures and what it should. Knowing when to sell.
