The Strategic Readiness Assessment
A comprehensive assessment and prioritized action framework to move your organization forward.
A 30–60 day engagement that maps your organization's readiness across one or more emerging technology domains: AI governance, post-quantum cryptography transition, space asset exposure, or supply chain cyber risk. Delivers a prioritized action framework and a executive summary.
Drawing on his background with both boots on the ground and policy development, Nick reviews your program with a critical eye to develop a comprehensive review of your risk. This assessment gives you that view before the policy cycle catches up to your industry.
The Ongoing Advisory Retainer
Expert judgment and trusted advisor on call before the crisis, not after
Monthly access to Nick's advice and guidance on emerging technology decisions, regulatory developments, vendor evaluation, incident response positioning, and geopolitical technology risk. Delivered via a standing monthly call, written briefings, and on-call availability for escalating issues.
Most organizations don't realize they need expert guidance until something breaks. A retainer means Nick is already at the table, familiar with your strategy, your risk profile, and the decisions you're facing, when the moment arrives.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Nick operates credibly across four domains because they intersect; a quantum vulnerability is a cybersecurity problem, a space asset is a critical infrastructure question, and an AI governance gap is a legal and regulatory risk. This matters because threats don't stay in their lanes.
Artificial Intelligence
AI strategy and governance, implementation risk, privacy-preserving AI architecture, regulatory compliance preparation, and AI vendor evaluation for enterprises and government agencies.
Quantum Computing
Post-quantum cryptography transition planning, quantum risk assessment for CISOs and continuity planners, encryption vulnerability timelines, and board-level quantum readiness briefings.
Space and National Security
Space critical infrastructure policy, cislunar economy risk, space asset vulnerability assessment, and regulatory strategy for organizations operating in or dependent on space systems.
Systemic risk frameworks, supply chain attack preparedness, state-sponsored IP theft protection, smart city and municipal cyber risk, and hybrid threat response for critical infrastructure operators.
Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure
Emerging Technology
An over the horizon look at what emerging technologies will be impacting the future of your organization. Identify opportunities and challenges before they are at your doorstep.
Most advisors analyze the policy. Nick wrote it.
WHY NICK
Nick has operated inside every layer of the system he now advises on: running missions, assessing threats, authoring executive orders, and building products.
That means advisory work with Nick doesn't start from a framework downloaded from a think tank. It starts from institutional experience, policy authorship, and a network that spans DHS, the Intelligence Community, DoD, and the private sector.
Nick blends two decades of Navy, intelligence, and policy work to guide clients through emerging tech challenges.
From operational insights to policy strategy, Nick’s work is grounded in real-world experience and practical solutions.
Policy author, not policy analyst. Authored multiple executive orders and Cabinet-level policies at DHS. When he explains the regulatory landscape, he speaks as someone who wrote parts of it.
Intelligence Community background. Six-plus years assessing threats that most organizations never see coming, and applying technical solutions to challenges most people never see in advance.
Builder credibility. Co-founded businesses and helped build multiple AI companies from the ground up. He has been on both sides of the technology decision, regulator and founder.
Active institutional affiliations. Faculty at NYU, advisory board at GWU. Living proof points, not aged credentials.
Veteran-owned, mission-driven. Nine years in the US Navy. Every engagement is approached with the same standard: integrity, clarity, and purpose.
