Deepest experience in marine, manufacturing, and financial services
CEMI works with mid-market and PE-backed companies in any industry. These three are where the operating experience runs deepest.
Marine
Marine operators and their sponsors are acquiring faster than systems, data, and reporting can follow.
- Technology diligence and post-close integration for marine operators
- Standardizing marina management, POS, finance, and network vendors across locations
- Sell side: technology and data readiness for owners preparing for a sale, before fragmented systems and messy data become valuation risk
CTO of Rybovich Boat Company when Safe Harbor Marinas acquired it, then CIO of Safe Harbor Marinas, leading technology integration for every acquisition from 2021 to 2026 as it grew from roughly 100 to more than 150 marinas and shipyards across the U.S., the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean.
Manufacturing
Growing manufacturers reach a point where spreadsheets and disconnected systems can’t keep up with the business.
- Growth: you’ve outgrown your systems
- Sale readiness: what a buyer will find under the hood
- Systems improvement: the manual processes eating your margin
Started on the plant floor: ran a semiconductor manufacturing department at Motorola and supervised a regulated medical device production line at Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon division.
Financial services
Regulated organizations where audit findings and governance gaps carry real cost.
- SOX, ITGC, HIPAA, and regulatory compliance programs
- IT operating and security frameworks grounded in COBIT
- Post-close integration in regulated environments
Worked the sell-side diligence as part of PRS International Consulting through its acquisition by EFG Capital, then led the post-close integration as Regional CIO. Reduced audit findings by 85%.
Different industry? Same problems.
Acquisitions, platform decisions, and missing technology leadership look similar everywhere. Let’s talk about yours.
