Tell us about yourself, your connection to Rhode Island, and your work.

Rhode Island has always been my home – it’s where I was born, raised, and began my education at the Community College of Rhode Island and Rhode Island College. In 2019, two local colleagues and I took a bold step and established Fusion3 Consulting. We saw firsthand how businesses struggled with disjointed systems, often relying on email and isolated applications that hindered productivity. Our boutique technology and implementation consultancy was created to address this need. We are committed to helping organizations adopt integrated platforms that enhance workflows, improve collaboration, and drive meaningful growth.

 

What’s your motivation for doing this work?

My motivation is rooted in helping companies – and the people within them – discover more effective ways to work. Every project at Fusion3 is driven by a commitment to improve efficiency and make day-to-day tasks easier with technology. Many companies find themselves stuck with clunky processes or outdated systems that slow them down. We saw a need for a partner who could not only set up the right tools but also show teams how to make the most of them. After each project, the results are incredibly rewarding and demonstrate the difference. People feel energized and empowered, and their work becomes less of a struggle.

 

In what ways do you hope to leave an impact on the Ocean State in the coming year?

I aim to elevate Rhode Island’s tech expertise. Fusion3 is dedicated to providing students and career changers with a blend of practical, hands-on training and traditional academics to support the growth of the state’s technology sector.

 

What challenges do you anticipate having to overcome to achieve these goals?

As a small consulting firm, balancing growth with personalized service is essential. Fusion3 has earned a reputation for close, tailored support, and as we expand, we’ll remain focused on delivering the same high level of expertise and care that distinguishes us. By addressing these challenges directly, we’re confident in our ability to make a significant impact on Rhode Island’s technology landscape.

 

What’s your reason for optimism approaching 2025?

I’m optimistic because we have the right people in the right roles, aligned with our mission. This combination of talent and shared purpose is powerful. Our team’s passion and dedication will continue to drive meaningful change – not just for our clients, but for the broader business communities we support.
