About NovoCircle
A technology advisory and intelligent automation practice built on practitioner experience, not theory.
The Practice
NovoCircle operates on what we call the Sherpa model: we're the guide, not the destination. A Sherpa doesn't carry you up the mountain — they know the terrain, help you prepare, and walk alongside you through the hard parts. That's what a technology advisory practice should do.
Most organizations are sold technology by people who benefit from the sale. NovoCircle is built the other way around. We don't have quotas, we don't take referral fees, and we don't lead with a vendor relationship. We lead with the problem you're actually trying to solve — and then work backward to the tools, platforms, and processes that fit.
After 25 years working inside organizations like Cisco, Microsoft, and Sparx Services, Ryan Schmierer understands what enterprise technology looks like from the inside. That practitioner perspective shapes every NovoCircle engagement — from a single advisory session to a multi-year automation program.
