Technology Leadership and Strategy

Your technology should answer to you.

I help organizations spend less on technology, decide faster, and answer every technology question with confidence. I do that work through two practices.

Two practices.
One standard.

I run two companies. Kenneth Thomas, LLC gives growing organizations senior technology leadership. Teksavvy, Inc. gives small organizations a website, email, and phones that work.

Both hold the same standard. Clear prices. Plain English. Work that holds up after launch.

01. Kenneth Thomas, LLC

Senior technology leadership without a full-time salary.

More than a few organizations pay an outside IT company with nobody on staff to check its work or answer the board. I fill that seat. Their IT company does the work. I make sure it gets done right.

Clients come away knowing what their IT company does for the money. Their board gets plain-English answers. Their staff follow clear rules for AI tools, and leadership has a technology plan tied to the budget.

Who I serve

Organizations with 50 to 250 staff, including nonprofits, associations, professional firms, and independent schools.

02. Teksavvy, Inc.

Websites, email, and phones for small organizations.

Teksavvy builds websites, sets up email at the organization's own domain, and handles phones. Clients get fixed written prices and one team to call when something breaks.

Who Teksavvy serves

Churches, nonprofits, and small offices across Florida and beyond.

What would change if you spent 10 minutes each week on how you lead?

From the field

What this work looks like

A regional sports network ran a failing phone system with scarce parts and thin support. I moved more than 300 users onto Microsoft Teams calling in under two weeks. The monthly bill dropped by roughly half starting day one.

Company policies lived in too many places. I led the build of one companywide policy repository. Every employee worked from the same current rules.

I directed annual technology budgets above $2 million across media, government, and healthcare. Executives expected clear numbers and straight answers. I gave them both.

“
Kenneth led and oversaw several projects, including a companywide policy repository, a Microsoft Teams launch, and a move from a legacy phone system to Teams phones. Those projects led to significant cost savings and real organizational improvement. If you want to work with someone who makes a difference, work with Kenneth.

Background

Built on experience. Focused on outcomes.

I spent more than 20 years leading technology in media, government, education, healthcare, and telecom, including as Director of IT at NESN. I directed annual budgets above $2 million and led teams across multiple sites.

I also taught IT as Program Director at Keiser University and as an adjunct at Florida A&M University. That work taught me to explain technology in plain English to the people who make the decisions.
