Full bio at timothyhamner.com

From hands-on engineer to enterprise CIO—now working directly for you.

Tim started as a Senior Systems Engineer at Logitech, then moved into IT leadership at fast-moving tech companies including BitTorrent and Technorati. Over the following two decades he stepped into enterprise leadership as Director of IT at Apple—leading technology integration during the Beats acquisition—Senior Director of IT at Samba TV, and most recently CIO and Executive Director of IT at Menlo College.

Consulting lets that enterprise-level experience—infrastructure deployment, budgeting, security, and team leadership—go directly to businesses that need it, without the overhead of a full-time executive hire.

Rather than keeping a large bench of full-time staff, Hamner Consulting pulls in specific senior specialists on a project-by-project basis, so clients get a custom-tailored team and enterprise-grade execution without paying for bloated overhead.
