Why FITLSDOG is the Ultimate Guide for Financial IT Leaders


As the author of
 FITLSDOG: The Financial Information Technology Leader’s Strategy Development and Operations Guide, I set out to create a resource I wish I had earlier in my career. Financial IT leadership is a uniquely challenging field, combining the intricacies of technology management with the high-stakes nature of financial services. My goal with this book was to simplify this complexity and empower IT professionals with actionable insights, proven strategies, and the tools they need to succeed.

The financial services industry operates at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and rigorous compliance demands. Financial institutions face persistent cyber threats, legacy system hurdles, and the imperative to deliver seamless digital experiences. FITLSDOG addresses these challenges by guiding readers through every phase of their journey—from landing their dream role to becoming transformational leaders who align IT strategy with business goals.

What makes FITLSDOG stand out is its practicality. I’ve included sample policies, case studies, and detailed checklists that readers can apply immediately in their roles. The book isn’t just theoretical; it’s built on my experiences managing IT and information security in financial services. It’s designed to bridge the gap between the day-to-day demands of IT operations and the strategic vision that drives business success.

Beyond the book, I’ve developed additional resources to help readers fully immerse themselves in the methodologies and strategies outlined in FITLSDOG. An online course is available at www.fitlsdog.com, along with downloadable tools and templates to make applying the lessons straightforward and effective.

For anyone navigating the high-stakes world of financial services IT, whether just starting your career or stepping into a leadership role, FITLSDOG offers the insights and support you need to excel. My hope is that readers will not only find guidance but also inspiration to lead with confidence and purpose in this dynamic industry.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your IT leadership journey, you can purchase FITLSDOG on Amazon or through my website (where you can also find discounted options and exclusive resources).

At the end of the day, my greatest hope is that FITLSDOG makes a difference for someone out there. Whether it clarifies a complex situation, inspires a new approach, or gives you the confidence to take the next step in your career, I’ll consider it a success.
