Internet Program Manager for Worldwide Training

As a business growth strategist, author, and former Apple exec, I facilitate a 90 day process that transforms overwhelmed managers into admired leaders who are eager to grow the business and develop their team/dept/division.

What’s Going On
😖  Have you noticed that the regular tempo of productivity you rely on has taken unexpected dips and dives?

😖  Are you under pressure to produce growth while you’re barely getting by each week, performing heroic saves, yet unable to get to the longer-range planning & strategic steps?

😖  Are you surprised at all that your direct reports have not stepped up to claim more responsibility? Are you wondering who is interviewing for other opportunities?

💥  Senior managers – especially in the high tech, privately held firms that I work with –  want to see improvements in the business operations, processes, and relationships improve, not just suffer and endure.

💥  Business leaders are struggling to right the ship. Without an approach that addresses the underlying causes, behavior change initiatives fail more than 70%. 

💥  Half-hearted efforts produce not just poor results, but perhaps backlash from your people. It doesn’t have to be that way. 


When We Work Together
📈   You get the levels of engagement that are good for morale and measurable via market growth, reduced costs, improved profit margins, and lower turnover.

💪 You can see results for yourself in 2-weeks. 

👊  Stop settling for results that are below what you know your people are capable of producing.

👊  Escape the trap of solving your manager's problems and give them the support to become more effective.

What Other Senior Leaders Say
💬  "I highly recommend Bill for any company who is looking for a talented person to help them with things such as marketing strategies, product positioning, company presentations, and overall good judgment regarding personnel and the organization.”
Bret Dunlap, CEO/President • Advanced Mobile Solutions

💬   “Whenever I was stuck, I knew Bill would be able to listen, ask a few questions, and come up with insights that really made a difference, whether it was with a strategy decision, go-to-market opportunity, or de-risking a new venture. Bill is an invaluable asset to any technology leader.”
Nitin Khanna, CEO • Archer Insights

Director of Technology

Hey there — I’m George Ballane.

At my core, I’m a tech guy who loves helping businesses grow. I’ve spent the last 20+ years, not just fixing IT things, but building systems and strategies that actually move the needle for organizations, both business and in education.

Through my current business ventures, BizTechPro and T3 Tech Partners, I help businesses run smarter, scale easier, and stay secure. Whether it’s managing IT day-to-day, planning for growth, or solving complex tech problems, I’m all about making technology work for the business — not the other way around.

I’ve worked with companies at all stages — startups figuring it out, established teams hitting growing pains, and everything in between. And the one thing they all want? Less stress, more clarity, and tech that just works.

Here’s what I focus on:

- Building relationships
- Making IT simpler (and more effective)
- Aligning tech with real business goals
- Protecting data and staying ahead of threats
- Being the partner you don’t have to chase

If you’re a business owner, operator, or just someone trying to make technology less painful — we should talk. I’m always open to a conversation, whether it’s to share insights, solve a problem, or see how we might work together.

Let’s connect. 🚀
