AICES is a small boutique consultancy led by working technology and cybersecurity operators. We stay small on purpose, so our principals do the work, not an offshore team.
AICES is a strategic advisory and delivery consultancy serving technology and operations leaders. We specialize in four service lines: technology modernization, cyber resilience and governance, M&A and technology integration, and fractional leadership.
Our methodology, AICES (Assess, Investigate, Communicate, Execute, Support), emerged from decades of doing this work inside real organizations, not from an academic framework. It's what we actually do, codified.
Engagements run in two models. Advisory for organizations that have their own delivery teams and need an experienced operator in the room. Delivery for organizations that need end-to-end ownership from problem through post-go-live.
Our engagements are small, deliberate, and senior-led. You work directly with the principal you hired. There is no bench, no offshore handoff, no associate writing the slides you'll eventually read. That's the point.
Most consultants sell pattern recognition from one vertical. AICES sells pattern recognition across six, from operators whose careers have been spent inside the systems, not consulting at them.
AICES brings together two distinct centers of gravity: a senior technology operator with three decades of enterprise infrastructure and operations leadership, and deep healthcare cybersecurity and governance expertise drawn from multi-hospital CISO leadership and formal consulting practice experience.
Values in most firms read like a poster in the breakroom. These four are the ones we evaluate ourselves against when deciding whether to take an engagement, how to run it, and how to finish it. Read them as commitments, not aspirations.
Kevin is a senior technology executive with three decades of enterprise operating experience. His career has spanned engineering, management, and executive technology leadership across six industries, from Fortune 15 pharmaceutical distribution to mid-market manufacturing, national restaurant chains, global logistics, home services, and healthcare.
He began his career in the early 1990s as an operational engineer at a Fortune 15 healthcare distributor, where he spent more than two decades progressing from lead engineer through supervisor, manager, and program management leadership. He ran portfolios of up to $75M, managed teams of fifty, and established the foundational discipline that would later become the AICES methodology.
After the Fortune 15 years, Kevin took his craft across a series of operational leadership roles in different industries: running production services for a global express-delivery company, leading the Aloha technology program at one of the nation's largest quick-service restaurant chains, standing up cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure for a national casual-dining operator, and building the technology function from the ground up at a mid-market plastics manufacturer.
Most recently, Kevin has served as Chief Technology Officer at a multi-billion-dollar regional health system, leading infrastructure engineering, network engineering, service management, and core IT architecture. His tenure has included a five-year infrastructure lifecycle strategy spanning thousands of network devices, the migration of core platforms to Azure and Microsoft 365, and collaboration with the executive team on multiple large-scale strategic initiatives.
The AICES methodology, Assess, Investigate, Communicate, Execute, Support, emerged from his work leading architecture and engineering teams across these diverse environments. It was never an academic framework. It was the operating rhythm that consistently produced better outcomes when the work was hard, the stakes were real, and the systems were already in production.
Kevin founded AICES to make that rhythm available to organizations that need it: technology and operations leaders who want the outside view from someone who has actually done the job, not a slide deck from someone who hasn't run the work in a decade.
He is a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP), a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, and holds numerous industry certifications in infrastructure, cloud, and security.
Most good engagements start with a thirty-minute call. No slides, no pitch, just a conversation about what's on your plate and whether AICES is the right fit.
