Threshold Digital is an independent digital-transformation consulting practice, founder-led by Warren Leggett, with senior practitioners. We start with your problem — not a technology solution — and stay until it is fully operational.
IT is a business-facing role. The technology is part of the solution, not the subject. Run IT as a business, and you are the CEO of the IT business: the financial and project discipline is its P&L, budget transparency is its reporting, total cost of ownership is its pricing, and the board and audit committee are its board.
Our founder started as a technologist at the beginning of the internet — operating systems, email, firewalls, security — then moved to the business side: applications, data, product hosting and release, reliability engineering, and the classical IT that delivers a product over the internet. The business judgment was built on top of the technical judgment, and tested in the top leadership ranks of a company: boards, audit committees, investors, auditors, lawyers and law enforcement.
Underneath all of it the work is the same: bringing order, creating consistency, seeing the patterns, establishing the standards, and seeing how things connect to each other. That is the move from chaos to clarity, and it is the same job in every domain.
Trust is built incrementally, then honored. Connect, understand the pain points inside the business, help people navigate to trusting what you say you will do — then do it. High communication, real change management, and no surprises.
Startups, mid-market, Fortune 50 and PE-backed environments. Twenty-five years in Silicon Valley, from startups through a Fortune 50. Global, remote-first delivery with US/UK dual citizenship.
Warren’s team transformed nearly every system my organization runs on — a new omni-channel contact center experience, customer portal, Professional Services automation platform, and the data and analytics behind our CRM — all while we kept serving customers every day. It was a transformation of tools and processes at scale with little to no disruption.
Warren and his team stayed hands-on until every new platform was truly operational — not just launched.
Kathy-Anne (KAM) McManus · EVP & Chief Customer Officer, CDK Global
Warren and I partnered on everything from budget discipline to implementing a new billing system and customer billing portal — the systems the revenue actually flows through. He understands the underlying business processes across the business, not just the technology, and he ties investment to business value.
Steve Lifshatz · EVP & Chief Financial Officer, CDK Global
I worked for Warren at CDK and sought his thinking on AI-driven engineering productivity because I trust no one more to turn transformation ambition into operational reality. Warren pairs deep technical judgment with a rare talent for getting an organization to actually adopt change.
