Focused advisory
Senior advice on a defined question
A bounded engagement around a decision, investment or roadmap. Mark challenges the case, brings an outside perspective and helps the leadership team decide what to do.
Broadcast and media technology
Independent technology advice and leadership for broadcast and media.
Barrington Technology works with executives who need a senior outside view on an important technology choice or experienced leadership through delivery.
Every engagement is led by Mark Barrington, a former CTO with experience across national video services, broadcast platforms and ATSC 3.0.
How the work can take shape
Focused advice or hands-on leadership, depending on the work.
Some assignments begin and end with a specific question. Others need Mark to take an active leadership role through a demanding phase.
Initiative leadership
Senior direction through a critical phase
A hands-on role when the work needs more than advice. Mark works with the team and its partners to resolve issues, provide direction and move the initiative through delivery.
Clients get direct access to senior technology judgment without making a permanent hire or engaging a larger consulting team. Barrington Technology brings one experienced technology leader to a specific decision or demanding phase of delivery.
