We have decades inside the current. Now we help you find the channel.

Built From Within the Current

David spent his career at the intersection of technology strategy, print services, and digital transformation at one of the world's largest financial institutions.

He's navigated the decisions that don't have easy answers: aging infrastructure, competing priorities, institutional knowledge walking out the door, and portfolios that have outgrown the frameworks built to manage them.

Cloudbreak Advisory Group exists for organizations that need that kind of experience in the room — not a generalist, not a staffing solution, but a senior advisor who has done the work at scale and knows where things go wrong.

What We Offer

Senior-level strategic guidance designed for organizations managing complex IT portfolios, technology transitions, and high-stakes governance decisions.

Independent evaluation of technology roadmaps, portfolio alignment, and multi-year investment health to ensure strategy translates into operational execution.

Establishing clear decision frameworks that de-risk major technical investments, clarify stakeholder accountability, and prepare leadership for board reviews.

Specialized counsel on personal compute and print services transitions, hardware refresh roadmaps, legacy phase-outs, and vendor contract optimizations.

Protecting institutional wisdom before key departures occur and elevating rising technical leaders into confident executive operators.

Direct intervention when critical initiatives stall, vendor relationships deteriorate, or unforeseen architectural roadblocks threaten deadlines.
