Deep Industry Experience. Senior-Level IT Guidance
What We Offer
Not all technology challenges are the same. An ERP implementation at a food manufacturer carries different stakes than a digital transformation initiative at a university. A cybersecurity incident at a food distributor has different consequences than a data breach at an academic publishing house.
At Turning Point Advisory, we do not apply a generic IT framework to every client. We bring real industry experience to the organizations we serve — which means our guidance is grounded in your operational reality, your regulatory environment, and the specific pressures your leadership team faces every day.
We currently specialize in two industries where our team has deep, direct experience:
-
We have served in senior IT leadership roles inside food and beverage organizations — giving us a firsthand understanding of ERP complexity, supply chain technology, FDA traceability requirements, and the operational pressures facing IT, operations, and finance leaders in the F&B sector.
Serving food and beverage partners across Massachusetts, New England, and Southwest Florida.
-
From leading IT strategy at major academic publishers to consulting on transformation programs at institutions including UNC and Cornell, our team brings a rare combination of higher education operational knowledge and educational publishing expertise — two domains that increasingly intersect in the modern edtech & publishing landscape.
Serving colleges, universities, academic publishers, and EdTech organizations nationwide.
-
Medical device companies operate at the intersection of life-critical technology and one of the most demanding regulatory environments in any industry. For IT, operations, and quality leaders at MedTech organizations, the technology decisions that shape your infrastructure, your quality management systems, and your cybersecurity posture are not just operational — they directly affect your ability to bring products to market, maintain FDA clearance, and protect patients.
Turning Point Advisory provides IT consulting for medical device companies with a focus on the specific regulatory, operational, and security challenges facing MedTech organizations. We understand the FDA's Quality Management System Regulation, ISO 13485 certification requirements, the cybersecurity demands of OT/IT environments, and the enterprise technology needs of manufacturers navigating rapid growth or transformation.
We serve CIOs, IT Directors, VP Operations, Quality Directors, and CFOs at medical device manufacturers, contract manufacturers, MedTech startups, and Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) organizations — bringing senior-level IT leadership to the table without the overhead of a full-time executive hire.

Why Industry Specialization Matters
Most IT consulting firms claim to serve every industry. In practice, that means they adapt general frameworks to your context and learn your business on your dime. We bring the institutional knowledge of having worked inside your industry — and we apply it from day one.
If you are in an industry not listed here, we are still happy to have a conversation. Our core services — Fractional CIO, cybersecurity advisory, IT compliance, project management, and IT leadership development — are applicable across sectors. But if you work in food & beverage, education, publishing, or medical devices, you will benefit from a level of industry fluency that goes well beyond what a generalist firm can offer.
