JH Strategic IT is an independent IT strategy advisory for mid-market business leaders, delivering IT spend visibility, ROI clarity, and board-level governance.
Business leaders call me in when IT produces activity instead of financial clarity. I give CEOs, CFOs, and COOs a clean view of where their technology dollars go, what the business gets back, where waste hides, and how to realign 3 to 7 percent of spend within 14 days. The work is independent, financial, and governance-first.
Stop Defending IT Spend. Start Proving Its ROI.
In 14 days, I uncover where $400K – $8M in strategic reallocation lives without adding a single new system.

Boardroom Clarity Diagnostic
Summary
A fixed-scope diagnostic that shows executives where IT spend is misaligned, where waste hides, and how to reallocate 3 to 7 percent of the budget within 14 days.
The Problem
Executives approve IT budgets without a clear view of where the money goes or what the business receives in return. Vendors control the narrative and reporting is technical, inconsistent, and disconnected from financial outcomes. The board asks simple questions and IT cannot answer them in financial language.
What This Service Does
The Boardroom Clarity Diagnostic gives CEOs, CFOs, and COOs a clean financial view of their technology function. It exposes misaligned spend, hidden risks, vendor inefficiencies, and the financial impact of operational gaps. It shows exactly where dollars can be redeployed without adding tools, headcount, or new systems.
