MEET THE FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT
Experience built inside
complex change.
Thomas “TJ” Robinson is a senior technology program leader with more than a decade of experience guiding high-stakes infrastructure, telecommunications, cloud, workplace technology, and business transformation initiatives. He has led work across complex enterprise environments where success depends on translating technical detail into an executable plan, aligning executives and delivery teams, and keeping vendors accountable through completion.
His defining experience includes leading program governance for a private-equity-backed telecommunications separation exceeding $100 million in technology build and implementation cost. Across an estate of more than 600 applications and related technology assets, TJ helped shape the clone-versus-build strategy, stood up the delivery operating model, governed 1,500+ cross-company dependencies, aligned nine delivery domains, and orchestrated executive reporting and multi-vendor execution through a high-stakes TSA exit.
That experience informs how he approaches M&A work today: begin diligence early, expose the real technology and operating dependencies, connect architectural decisions to cost and timing, and build a transition plan the organization can actually execute. TJ is equally comfortable advising senior leaders and working alongside architects, engineers, business owners, and vendors on the details that determine whether a transition succeeds.
He founded Coolidge Street to give organizations experienced, hands-on leadership without the layers and overhead of a large consulting firm. Clients get direct access to a practical partner who brings structure to ambiguity, communicates clearly, anticipates risk, and stays accountable for moving the work forward.
