VES · Veteran-Owned · Serving Businesses Nationwide

Brian Sinclair

Founder of VES · Infrastructure & Operations Project Leader

For fifteen years I modernized the systems that keep Fortune 500s, hospitals, banks, and federal agencies running. Now I bring that same discipline to Main Street — helping small businesses across the country cut the busywork and run like a much bigger operation.

Why I started VES

I've spent my career in the engine room of large organizations — the infrastructure and operations work most people never see, but everyone depends on.

Data-center refreshes. Enterprise migrations across tens of thousands of users. Hospital Epic go-lives. Security-aligned deployments with real money and real downtime on the line. My job was always the same: take something complex and fragile, and make it run reliably, on time, without drama. At Perdue Farms I was brought on as a contractor and converted to full-time on performance — running infrastructure projects in a 24/7 food-production environment where systems simply cannot go down.

Here's what I kept noticing: small businesses fight the exact same problems — missed calls, manual intake, reporting that eats a whole afternoon — but without an IT department or a six-figure budget to solve them. The tools to fix it finally exist. What's usually missing is someone who has actually run operations at scale and can set them up properly.

That's VES. I take one painful, manual process and turn it into a working, automated system — usually in about ten business days. Enterprise-grade thinking, small-business practical. The same standards I hold inside a Fortune 500, pointed squarely at the work that's slowing your team down.

Enterprise discipline

Charters, runbooks, risk tracking, clean cutovers. Nothing improvised — you get a professional who has delivered under real governance and audit standards.

Real technical depth

Networks, systems, security, and AI. I speak both business and technical, so the fix is right the first time — and I can explain it in plain English.

A veteran's follow-through

U.S. Navy. I finish what I start, I show up, and I treat your operation the way I'd treat my own. Trust is the whole business.

Before the enterprise, the Navy.

My work ethic didn't start in a data center — it started in Navy dress blues. I served aboard the USS Peleliu (LHA-5), an amphibious assault ship, in 1997–1998. At sea, “keep the system running” isn't a slogan — it's a watch you stand. The discipline, accountability, and calm under pressure I learned there are what I still bring to every client I work with today.

Where I've done this work

Over fifteen-plus years I've delivered infrastructure and operations programs inside Fortune 500 companies, national hospital systems, major banks, and federal agencies — often as the person keeping a dozen vendors and internal teams pointed at the same go-live.

Selected environments from a career of enterprise programs — including a Windows migration across 82 sites, 12,000 employees and 14,000 systems, Epic hospital hardware rollouts, Active Directory and storage transformations, and multi-site data-center network refreshes.

How I can help your business

Most engagements start small and prove themselves fast. Pick the painful process; I'll handle the rest.

AI Ops Audit

I map one painful process, quantify what it's costing you, and hand back a prioritized plan and a fixed price. The fee credits toward the build if you move forward.

Step 2 · The build

Automation Sprint

In about ten business days I build the working system — intake, routing, follow-ups, reporting, an AI-assisted step, and a one-page SOP so your team can run it.

Step 3 · Ongoing

Your outsourced operations partner — I maintain what we built and ship a new improvement each month. The go-to for “can we automate this?”
