Strategy, systems, and change that last — at any scale.
20+ years helping organizations build what endures — from federal agencies to growing businesses.
20+ years helping organizations build what endures — from federal agencies to growing businesses.
For growing businesses: your business grew, and your systems didn't keep up. I help small and mid-size companies build practical strategic plans, put the right people in the right roles, and create processes and technology that don't depend on any one person — including you.
For institutions and enterprises: modernization, global strategy, and complex international landscapes demand more than a plan. I bring two decades of experience across federal agencies and global firms to organizations facing their biggest transitions.

I built my craft at Booz Allen Hamilton and Grant Thornton, modernizing the Department of Defense and the SEC. I've also advised clients from Accenture to small and mid-size businesses. Today, I bring that same discipline to businesses ready to grow beyond what got them here.
