Aligning Business Needs with Technology Solutions
Do These Sound Familiar?
Is your business technology holding you back instead of helping you grow? Many successful companies reach a point where their systems create more problems than they solve.
These aren't just IT headaches—they directly impact your operations, customer relationships, and profits.

About
our company
At Harbor Light Strategies, we're seasoned technology advisors who guide businesses through platform selection and implementation with clarity and purpose. Founded by Stephen Vasquez, our team brings over two decades of experience in business development, marketing, sales, leadership, and digital transformation excellence.
We've been in your shoes. After creating and managing the industry-leading e-commerce platform in the vertical transportation industry that achieved 150% growth in online sales and significant market share expansion—we understand what makes technology truly work for business.
What sets us apart? We're not just technical implementers or vendor representatives, we are business people. Our cross-functional expertise spans sales process optimization, multiple platform integrations, and strategic business development across North America, Europe, and APAC. We see the whole picture, ensuring your technology solutions serve your entire organization—not just one department's needs.
As your independent advisor, we're committed to protecting your interests by defining proper scope, selecting appropriate vendors, and creating systems that enhance your existing workflows rather than disrupting them.
Whether you're implementing ERP, CRM, e-commerce, or other business-critical platforms, our platform-agnostic approach means we recommend solutions based solely on what's right for your business.
Our approach is refreshingly straightforward: no high pressure tactics, no unnecessary complexity—just right-sized technology solutions that respect your resource constraints while maximizing return on investment.
We bridge the gap between vendor promises and business realities, helping you avoid the costly mistakes that occur when technology decisions are made without proper business alignment.
