_New executive technology advisory firm gives growing and mid-market businesses 
access to experienced technology, cybersecurity and AI leadership without requiring
a large internal executive technology organization_

Los Angeles, CA, United States, September 14, 2026 — Norrell Partners, an executive
technology leadership and advisory firm, has launched to help growing and mid-market
businesses, portfolio companies, and private equity firms navigate increasingly 
consequential decisions involving technology, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence,
M&A, and enterprise transformation.

Founded by technology executive [John Norrell](https://www.norrellpartners.com/about-john-norrell/),
[Norrell Partners](https://www.norrellpartners.com/) is built around a straightforward
premise: companies do not need to be large enterprises to benefit from enterprise-
caliber technology leadership.

As organizations grow, technology decisions that were once primarily operational
increasingly affect growth, financial performance, cybersecurity risk, customer 
experience, acquisitions, and enterprise value. Yet many smaller and mid-sized companies
do not require — or want to build — the large executive technology organizations
common at much larger enterprises.

Norrell Partners is designed to bridge that gap.

“Smaller companies are increasingly making the same kinds of technology decisions
that much larger enterprises make,” said John Norrell, Founder and Managing Partner
of Norrell Partners. “Growing companies should be able to access that same caliber
of judgment and leadership at a scale that makes sense for their business.”

The firm provides CIO-, CISO-, and CAIO-level leadership on a fractional, interim,
project, and advisory basis. Engagements can include technology strategy, cybersecurity
governance, AI strategy and governance, enterprise systems, vendor selection, technology
investment, M&A due diligence and integration, organizational design, and transformation
initiatives.

Unlike traditional IT consulting or managed technology services, Norrell Partners
focuses on executive ownership and independent judgment.

“An MSP can be an important partner in operating technology, but somebody still 
needs to sit on the company’s side of the table,” Norrell said. “Leadership teams
need someone who understands the business, can challenge vendors when necessary,
evaluate investments objectively, explain technology risk, and remain accountable
for the decisions that follow.”

Artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud platforms, enterprise applications,
and data initiatives are increasingly reaching the CEO, CFO, and boardroom. At the
same time, businesses are managing more vendors, greater regulatory expectations,
and increasing pressure to demonstrate measurable returns from technology investment.

Norrell Partners helps leadership teams bring structure and accountability to those
decisions while working alongside existing internal teams, MSPs, and technology 
providers.

Norrell brings more than 20 years of technology leadership experience across CIO,
CTO, and CISO responsibilities, including professional services, manufacturing and
distribution, high-growth technology companies, and complex global organizations.
His experience includes leading technology through more than $400 million in M&A
activity across 16 countries, enterprise transformation, cybersecurity programs,
infrastructure and applications modernization, and AI initiatives that produced 
measurable operating improvements.

In one recent AI-enabled business process initiative led by Norrell, the cost of
a core business process was reduced by approximately 92 percent while adoption expanded
to 100 percent.

Norrell was named to the 2026 HotTopics Global CIO 100 and holds cybersecurity and
AI governance credentials including CISSP, Certified CISO (C|CISO), and Advanced
AI Governance & Security (AAISM), along with executive education in artificial intelligence
strategy from MIT Sloan.

His leadership foundation began in mission-critical environments. In the U.S. Air
Force, Norrell was Division Commander for Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems,
leading personnel responsible for aviation systems where reliability, discipline
and accountability were essential. He later led electronics maintenance support 
for U.S. Coast Guard District 11 as a contractor, overseeing systems supporting 
search and rescue, federal emergency broadcasting, ship-to-shore and air-to-shore
communications, long-range communication networks.

Those experiences continue to influence the operating philosophy behind Norrell 
Partners: understand the mission, determine what matters, make clear decisions, 
and remain accountable for the outcome.

The firm’s model is particularly suited to organizations facing inflection points
such as rapid growth, an acquisition, ERP or platform replacement, rising cybersecurity
concerns, AI adoption, vendor changes, or a growing need for technology decisions
to be represented at the executive level.

“The goal is better business decisions about technology,” Norrell said. “A good 
technology executive should help the company understand where to invest, where not
to invest, what risks actually matter, and how technology can make the business 
stronger.”

Norrell Partners is based in Southern California and works with organizations nationally,
with on-site involvement available when needed.
