CONSULTANTANCY AND EXPERT ADVISORY SERVICES
Selective consulting engagements for organizations facing the kinds of operational and program challenges I have spent a decade solving in-house. Specialties include PMO design and standup, project portfolio rescue, vendor renegotiation, supply chain and logistics optimization, and operational discipline for organizations preparing for M&A or post-merger integration. Engagements typically run four to twelve weeks, scoped against a measurable outcome — recovered budget, reduced cycle time, or a working operational structure your team owns when I leave. I take on a limited number of engagements at a time and only when the fit is real.Please reach out at [email protected]
