Many businesses today rely upon technology to survive, but they have no budget for a technology leader on their leadership team. This role tends to get handed to the leader who "knows the most" about technology.

I've served as a CTO on demand (or Virtual CTO) for companies of all sizes.

Some of the benefits of having a Virtual CTO for your company are:

‣ Access to an extremely knowledgeable technology consultant to answer your questions and give you guidance.
‣ Renewed focuses on the small details of your technology platform.
‣ Representation by a consultant who "speaks the language" of your tech team.

Technology Consultant | CTO on Demand

With many businesses lacking the time or resources to have an in-house team, I use my 30+ years of experience to identify, vet, and hire any technology team members my clients need.

Using my proven process that results in successful project completion, I take over management of all technology projects, including all project team meetings. This can be your internal team or a team I bring to the table.

Let me help you hire and manage a team of technology professionals.

Like Tony Camarata of Immedia Creative has said:

"In our line of work, it's common for issues to arise during the course of a project, but Mike is excellent about identifying and communicating them to me well in advance, allowing us to avoid scope creep while staying ahead of our deadlines."

Here is what it looks like for me to hire and manage your technology team:

‣ I take over all interviewing and testing of potential candidates.
‣ I find the top 10% of technologists in the pool of people interested in your type of project.
‣ Project plan generation.
‣ Regular status meetings to drive projects forward.
‣ Weekly status updates for you and your management team.
‣ Handling of all roadblocks and getting them removed.

Yogi's Podcast Network

Through the use of a unique approach, I help authors, speakers, entrepreneurs, and businesses create and launch podcasts.

Thought Leader

Restaurants on the Run

As the Director of Technology Solutions, my technology strategy caused revenue to grow from $4 million annually to $40 million annually with a 7x growth in profit.

My approach turned technology into an accelerator for both revenue and profit. This approach led to ROTR being purchased by GrubHub for $85 million.

As a member of their Executive Team, I made decisions on the following issues:

- Acquisitions of other delivery services
- Business growth strategy
- Strategic planning
- Team management processes
- Training programs
- Software architecture
- Software development
- Marketing strategy

Putting the customer first has always been my motto and it was no different with this position.

Director of Technology Solutions

Join us to learn all of the juicy secrets of tech leaders - their biggest successes (and failures) - on our quest for gaining that all-important technology edge.

What separates good tech leaders from great ones? The ability to stay ahead of the curve — not just keeping pace, but setting the pace.

That’s why I created Gaining the Technology Leadership Edge — a podcast for tech executives, founders, and change-makers ready to lead with clarity in a world where AI disruption, digital transformation, and shifting markets collide.

Each week, I sit down with experienced leaders who’ve been in the trenches — sharing real wins, costly failures, and hard-earned lessons you can apply immediately. No fluff. No buzzwords. Just strategies for building resilient, high-performing teams.

I know what it’s like to carry that weight. As CTO of the largest restaurant delivery service in the U.S. at the time, I was working 105-hour weeks — successful on paper but burning out, missing family moments, and watching my marriage slip away.

That breaking point forced me to rethink everything. I rebuilt my leadership approach, empowered my team, and the results were undeniable — zero turnover for over two years, no missed deadlines, and a 40-hour workweek that gave me my life back.

That journey became The Decentralized A-Team Method — a framework I now teach and the foundation of my book, The Decentralized A-Team Handbook: Leadership Strategies.

Whether you’re scaling a SaaS startup, leading a tech team, or driving enterprise innovation, the podcast is your playbook to sharpen your edge, gain real-world insights, and connect with a growing community of tech leaders who’ve been where you are.

26 Years Executive Digital Marketer & Strategist

BUILDING SIMPLE CLIENT ENGINES FOR COACHES, CONSULTANTS & EXPERTS

I work with established coaches and consultants already in business who want a cleaner, more leveraged way to grow.

The pattern is familiar:

No reliable, systematised pipeline for new clients.

No clear one-to-many offer or delivery model that feels solid.

Too much time lost to bespoke 1:1 work and energy-draining sales calls.

That’s the problem space I focus on.

What we build (the AC Cross)

Inside Ascendant Consultant, I use a four-part framework:

Identify the customer – exactly who you’re building this for (and who you’re not).

Articulate the offer – a simple, compelling offer you can explain in a few sentences.

Map the conversion method – how people become clients (written paths, low-key calls, email/DM flows, etc.).

Map the delivery method – how you deliver one-to-many in a way that fits your energy and calendar.

We sketch a first version of all four then refine and implement so this becomes a working client engine, not just a plan in a notebook.

Background (short version)

I’ve spent 20+ years in senior digital roles (CEO, COO, Executive Producer), working with both large enterprises and small, fast-moving firms. Earlier in my career I ran my business from a sailboat with my family for extended periods, which cemented a belief I still hold: your business should support your life, not consume it.
