Lost in Digital Initiatives That Aren't Delivering?

I Bring Focus, Simplicity, and Results.

Too much technology, not enough payback? I help leadership teams automate appropriately and improve customer experience — so your business actually grows.

Let's Talk

Meet Ed Stivala

I work with leadership teams to cut through complexity in digital strategy—backed by nearly four decades in software, strategy, and execution across sales, development, and product leadership. From shaping strategy to defining pricing models and aligning delivery with commercial goals, I offer a commercially grounded, technically informed approach to every engagement.

Services

I simply provide pragmatic advice and guidance in a range of consultancy formats. I combine three perspectives based on my lived experiences as a former Sales Leader, Software Developer, and Technology Entrapreneur. This gives me practical experience in how to commercialise software, but also how to deploy it within an organisation for maximum benefit.

How can you benefit from my expertse? There are broadly three ways that I can help you.

Specifically, I ensure that complex technology is explained in ways that are meaningful to your investment committee.
