Consulting for small & mid-sized businesses

Enterprise-grade thinking, sized for your business.

I'm Domenic Padula. I lead Technology & Innovation for the Town of Medway, after 30+ years in technology, including 20+ leading organizations at Breezeline, Cognex, and Hewlett Packard. Through Padula Consulting Group, I help small and mid-sized businesses make smarter technology decisions, run leaner operations, and get a website that actually brings in work.

Three ways I help your business move forward.

Practical, hands-on help from someone who has run the budget, led the team, and owned the outcome. No jargon, no bloated proposals.

  • Cybersecurity, backup, and disaster recovery
  • AI and automation you can trust
  • Vendor, software, and contract reviews

Clear, experienced advice on the decisions that keep owners up at night.

  • Operations and process improvement
  • Organizational design and hiring
  • Technology investment planning
  • Executive AI and automation workshops
03

Website Creation

A fast, modern, mobile-friendly website that earns trust and turns visitors into customers.

  • Clear messaging and copywriting
  • Domain, hosting, and business email setup
  • Search basics and visitor analytics
  • Ongoing updates and care
Who I work with

Growing organizations that need a seasoned partner.

You're past the point of winging it, but a full-time CIO or COO isn't in the budget. Think of me as a part-time technology executive and business advisor who scales with you.

"Big-company experience, small-business attention. You work directly with me, start to finish."

About

A technology executive who speaks business.

I've led IT, engineering, and infrastructure organizations of up to 58 people with budgets over $12 million, from cloud transformations and data center consolidations to cybersecurity programs and M&A due diligence.

Along the way I learned that good technology decisions are really business decisions: about cost, risk, people, and growth. That's the lens I bring to every client.

Today I also lead the Technology & Innovation department for the Town of Medway, directing technology strategy, cybersecurity, and operations for Town departments, public safety, and Medway Public Schools. Public service sharpens exactly what small businesses need: tight budgets, real accountability, and systems that simply have to work.

I founded Padula Consulting Group to bring that experience to the businesses that need it most and can least afford to get it wrong. Based in Medway, Massachusetts, I work with clients across Greater Boston and remotely.
