I’m Matthew Scannell, founder of Strategic Infra Advisors — a veteran-owned IT and security advisory firm dedicated to helping small to mid-sized businesses stabilize their technology environments, strengthen cybersecurity posture, and build practical roadmaps that actually drive business forward.

With nearly 20 years of hands-on experience stabilizing chaotic IT operations in manufacturing and other complex business settings, I’ve developed a practical, no-nonsense approach that cuts through the noise. I’ve managed significant IT budgets, led large-scale infrastructure projects, optimized vendor relationships to reduce costs, and implemented frameworks that dramatically improved security and operational efficiency.

My background includes directing enterprise technology strategy, overseeing Office 365 migrations and hardware refreshes with zero downtime, implementing NIST Cybersecurity Frameworks that reduced phishing incidents, and building internal talent pipelines that slashed onboarding time and turnover. I’ve consistently delivered measurable results: boosting productivity through network optimizations, cutting costs through smart vendor negotiations, and enhancing overall IT reliability for organizations that rely on technology to compete.

At Strategic Infra Advisors, I act as your neutral, independent advisor — never selling hardware or managed services. My focus is simple: help you reduce high IT turnover, work more effectively with your current MSP, strengthen your cybersecurity insurance readiness, and create clear 6–18 month technology and security roadmaps you can actually execute.

Whether you need a rapid stabilization review, a focused security gap analysis, a facilitated roadmap workshop, or ongoing monthly guidance, I bring real-world battle-tested experience to every engagement. As a veteran-owned business, I’m committed to delivering fixed-price packages with clear deliverables and honest, straightforward advice that treats your IT challenges like my own.

If your technology environment feels chaotic or your current setup isn’t giving you the confidence to grow, let’s talk. I’m here to help you build infrastructure that supports — and accelerates — your business goals.
