BEN-MOSHE
IT Manager with 15+ years keeping infrastructure secure, resilient, and online — owning architecture, cybersecurity, cloud, and ERP across enterprise and manufacturing/OT environments. I turn complex systems into a competitive advantage.
Technology, aligned with the business.
As an IT Manager at Crosby Foods, I lead strategic technology initiatives that improve operational efficiency, cybersecurity, and infrastructure resilience — specializing in virtualization, cloud, and enterprise IT strategy that supports real business growth.
I oversee a complex ecosystem — Fortinet networks, production IoT/OT networks, VMware ESXi, Veeam, SYSPRO, EDI, Label Matrix, SQL, Azure, and Microsoft 365 — where a focus on security, automation, and disaster recovery keeps operations robust, scalable, and compliant.
Beyond the technical, I align IT with strategy: managing projects, budgets, and cross-functional teams to deliver cost-effective, secure, high-performing solutions. I'm always expanding my skill set and love partnering with leadership to make technology a genuine advantage.
Where I focus
- 01Infrastructure architecture & cloud — Azure / M365
- 02Cybersecurity — firewalls, segmentation, endpoint, DR
- 03ERP enablement — SYSPRO, EDI, SQL reporting
- 04Budgeting, vendor & stakeholder management
- 05Manufacturing / OT network security
30+ applications. One AI-powered platform.
I build and ship AI-powered applications that automate real work — 30+ custom systems across finance, operations, quality, HR, and IT security that replaced manual spreadsheets, legacy tools, and paid SaaS.
Finance & Reporting
Automated month-end financial statements, FP&A analysis, and AI extraction of AR / EDI documents — replacing manual spreadsheets and paid add-ons.
Operations & Supply Chain
Production planning, OCR that turns purchase orders into ERP entries, and live freight & inventory tracking across the plant floor.
Quality & Compliance
A multi-module quality-management system, in-house GHG / carbon reporting, and audit-ready workflows that replaced external SaaS platforms.
IT & Security
A self-hosted ITIL service desk, an agentic SOC-triage assistant for security investigations, and unified on-prem + cloud identity.
AI Agents & Assistants
Tool-calling copilots wired into live business data, RAG knowledge assistants for policy & HR, and multi-agent research pipelines.
Cloud Products & Platforms
A multi-tenant SaaS product built and shipped on Cloudflare (Workers, D1, R2) with Stripe billing — end-to-end product delivery, not just IT ops.
