WHO WE ARE
Built on operating
experience, not just
consulting
01
Industry-native experience
We've held senior IT roles inside the industries we serve. We know the compliance pressures, vendor dynamics, and operational realities your team faces every day.
03
Strategy through execution
We don't just build roadmaps and hand them off. We partner through implementation, staying accountable to outcomes rather than deliverables.
02
Senior access, always
You work directly with experienced principals — not account managers or junior consultants. The person you meet is the person who does the work.
04
Security built in, not bolted on
Every engagement considers cybersecurity and compliance from day one — including SOC 2, PCI DSS, SOX 404, HIPAA, and Massachusetts state regulations.
Turning Point Advisory is a boutique IT consulting firm founded in January 2025 on a simple premise: the best technology advice comes from people who have actually done the work. Our team brings decades of experience leading IT organizations from the inside — not consulting into them from the outside.
We specialize in four industries where our team has real, senior-level operating experience: food & beverage, EdTech & publishing, medical devices, and healthcare. That depth allows us to move faster, ask better questions, and deliver strategies that fit the way your business actually works.
As a boutique firm, we prioritize relationships over volume and outcomes over billable hours. Every engagement is led directly by a senior advisor — never handed off to a junior team.
EdTech & Publishing
Deep experience with digital learning platforms, content infrastructure, corporate security, and the compliance requirements of education technology companies.
INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Four Industries. Real operating experience in all of them.
We don’t serve every industry - we serve the ones we know from the inside. That specialization is what makes our advice different
Food & Beverage
From multi-location restaurant franchises to food manufacturing — IT strategy that handles supply chain, PCI compliance, and the pace of operations.
Medical Devices
Regulated environments demand rigorous IT governance. We bring direct experience in HIPAA-compliant infrastructure and medical device industry compliance frameworks.
Healthcare & Higher Education
Complex, compliance-driven organizations that need IT leadership aligned with institutional goals — not generic solutions built for a different sector.
