Twenty-five years spent in the room where technology decisions get made.
Allan Sivils founded HaveSight on a simple belief: business leaders deserve trusted, independent guidance when making important technology decisions — from someone whose only objective is helping them make the right one.
A career built on trust.
Over more than twenty-five years, Allan has served in nearly every role that surrounds an executive technology decision. He has built and sold technology, run and rebuilt security programs, sat on executive teams, owned the budget, defended investments to boards, and advised CEOs, CFOs, executive directors, and CIOs through the moments that quietly shape a company.
Clients don't hire Allan because he has every answer. They hire him because he helps leadership ask better questions — and because his only interest, engagement after engagement, is theirs.
He's sat in nearly every seat around the executive technology decision.
That range is what makes the judgment possible. You cannot advise leadership well without having lived on every side of the conversation.
Ran the shop. Knows what leaders are really being sold — and why.
Designed technology environments that had to hold up for a decade.
Sat on the executive team. Owned the budget, the risk, and the board conversation.
Led security programs where the risk was real and the stakes were personal.
The person leadership calls before making the decision, not after.
A quiet second opinion for CIOs navigating vendors, boards, and change.
A note from Allan.
For most of my career, I watched capable leaders make important decisions with incomplete guidance. Not because the people around them lacked knowledge — but because nearly every voice at the table had something to sell, protect, or defend.
I built HaveSight for the leader who wants a quiet, honest second opinion. Someone whose only interest is helping them see the decision clearly, weigh what actually matters, and move forward with confidence.
Technology will keep changing. The need for trusted judgment won't. That is the practice, and that is the whole of it.
