Nick Spaniola

Founder & Principal Consultant

With more than two decades of hands-on IT leadership across manufacturing, defense, hospitality, and technology sectors, I bring the rare combination of strategic vision and deep technical execution that mid-market organizations need.

My career spans Director-level IT leadership at multiple enterprises, building and managing infrastructure teams, leading ERP and platform migrations, driving CMMC and NIST compliance programs, and deploying complete technology ecosystems — from network architecture to AI-accelerated SaaS platforms.

I’ve deployed full-property IT systems for boutique hotels on Mackinac Island — proof that no environment is too unique. Whether you need a CIO-level strategist, a hands-on architect, or both, Spaniola.com delivers.
