Strategic Technology Advisory

The operator-level advisor for orgs adopting new technology and scaling globally

20 years of direct operational accountability — P&L ownership, global team stand-up, post-acquisition integration, and product launches — across Accenture, IBM, Microsoft, and beyond. Not theory. Experience you can put to work.

What We Do

Advisory Services

Strategic Technology Advisory

Walk away with a clear technology roadmap aligned to your business strategy — not a slide deck, but a decision framework. From cloud architecture and platform rationalization to vendor selection and post-acquisition integration, we help you move faster with less risk.

Services Organization Design

Build a services org that scales without breaking. Drawing on 20 years leading technical teams, we advise on high-performance team structure, follow-the-sun operations, SOC 2 readiness, and the shift from reactive delivery to customer-centric service that drives retention.

Global Team Strategy

From location selection to day-one operations, get hands-on guidance from someone who has actually done it — delivery teams built and run in Argentina, China, Costa Rica, India, Philippines, Taiwan, and the US. We help you avoid the pitfalls that sink most global expansion efforts.

Startup Advisory

For Pacific Northwest founders who need an operator in their corner, not just a strategist. Practical guidance on go-to-market, technology stack, early team structure, and the operational foundations that scale — including hard-won lessons from launching a regulated business from scratch in 2025.

About

An Advisor Who Has
Done the Work

JPLAdvisors was founded by John Luethe, a Seattle-based executive with two decades of hands-on operating experience — not just advising on technology strategy, but owning the outcomes: P&L responsibility, team accountability, and delivering results in complex, fast-moving environments.

That experience spans P&L ownership for a 70-person global services team at Redapt, post-acquisition technology leadership at IBM Private Cloud, and a decade of delivering complex programs at Accenture across Microsoft, Best Buy, and Safeco.

In 2025, John founded Comfort Keepers of Seattle — building a licensed, regulated, in-home senior care business from the ground up. That experience reinforced a core belief: the fundamentals of earning customer trust, building a delivery culture, and scaling operations apply across every industry.

JPLAdvisors brings that operator's mindset — not a consultant's — to every engagement.
