About Nova Inizio
I help leaders stabilize, recover, and run complex technology programs where failure is visible and expensive.
Nova Inizio is a solo, senior program leadership practice focused on high-visibility technology initiatives. I work with leaders accountable for outcomes when delivery becomes noisy, credibility is at risk, or the operating model requires a reset.
Operating Model
Clients work directly with the accountable operator—diagnosis, decisions, and execution.
Nova Inizio is an operator-led practice, not a rotating-team consulting model.
Engagements begin with an evidence-based view of commitments, constraints, and risk. From there, the work aligns scope, tightens governance, and establishes a delivery cadence executives can rely on.
Throughout the engagement, you should expect clear language, explicit tradeoffs, and decisions tied to outcomes.
Typical Engagement Scenarios
Engagements typically fall into one of four lanes:
- Program Delivery Stabilization
- Critical Program Turnaround & Recovery
- Fractional Program Leadership
- AI Safety & Governance Diagnostic
Engagement Outcomes
Leaders receive operating control, credible visibility, and a defensible path to delivery.
- Senior, hands-on program ownership (not advisory at a distance)
- A clear operating model tailored to the program’s constraints and reality
- Executive-ready reporting grounded in evidence, not optimism
- Risk, scope, and dependency clarity with explicit tradeoffs
- Cross-functional alignment across product, engineering, security, and leadership
- A path to stable delivery that does not depend on heroics
Where this model works best
High-stakes SaaS, security, and enterprise modernization programs where failure is expensive, visible, or politically risky.
- Multi-team product and platform initiatives
- Security and infrastructure programs with tight risk tolerance
- Complex vendor ecosystems and shared delivery accountability
- Programs with cross-functional friction and unclear decision rights
Operating Principle
When delivery begins to drift, additional reporting does not restore control. The operating model does. This principle guides every Nova Inizio engagement.
