Work with me
Retained advisory, fractional leadership, and portfolio guidance are delivered through my firm, Authentic Tech Leadership. This is the short version — follow any card for the full picture.
Two doors
The question I hear most: hire me directly, or bring in my team? Here are the two doors.
Door 1
Advisory, fractional leadership (CAIO · CIO · CTO), board roles, and speaking. One operator — me — in the room, accountable for the outcome. This door: you need one accountable leader, not a project team.

Door 2
When the work needs a bench, not just a leader. I lead the AI practice at The Doyle Group, a Denver technology talent and consulting firm working with startups through the Fortune 500. This door: you need several roles filled, or a team that ships.

How I work
Neil works for outcomes, not hours. There is no pricing menu, no time-and-materials billing, and no engagement that ends with a report and a deck at the door — every engagement is value-based, judged by the result it produces for the business that hired him. That means measurable outcomes instead of activity, relationships that outlast the project, and technology decisions built to create real value for customers and shareholders alike — across public and private companies. His clients are boards and executive teams who need a partner who finishes what fractional, hourly, and cookie-cutter advisors leave unfinished.
