Our Expertise
Fractional Project Management Leadership
Senior-Level Oversight Without Full-Time Cost
Get experienced project management leadership for your critical initiatives without the expense of a full-time hire. We provide 10-15 hours per week of strategic oversight, risk management, and executive communication for healthcare implementations, government modernizations, and enterprise software rollouts. Ideal for organizations mid-implementation who need seasoned expertise to keep projects on track.
Project Rescue & Recovery
Rapid Diagnostics for Troubled Initiatives
When projects are behind schedule, over budget, or stuck, we identify the real issues fast. Our 2-week Project Health Assessment reveals hidden risks, schedule gaps, and budget exposure that traditional analysis misses. You get an executive briefing with prioritized recommendations and a clear recovery roadmap, before small problems become major crises.
PMO Development & Optimization
Build Capabilities That Drive Consistent Delivery
Strong PMO frameworks don't happen by accident. We design and implement project management structures, governance processes, and reporting standards proven across Fortune 500 firms and government agencies. Whether you're building from scratch or strengthening existing capabilities, we deliver practical frameworks your team can actually use.
Government & Healthcare IT Expertise
Deep Experience Where Compliance and Complexity Matter
Government and healthcare projects fail at higher rates than commercial implementations due to regulatory complexity, procurement constraints, and political pressures. We've successfully navigated these challenges for over 25 years across state agencies, federal departments, and healthcare systems nationwide. From managing federal contract requirements and state compliance mandates to delivering EHR implementations under Meaningful Use deadlines, we know how to deliver results in environments where others struggle.

Driving clarity, direction, and successful delivery for complex IT and enterprise initiatives
For more than 25 years, I have led large scale technology, healthcare, engineering, and government programs that require strong leadership, decisive action, and precise execution. My expertise centers on stabilizing high risk programs, modernizing legacy systems, and guiding organizations through major digital transformations with confidence and control.
I have delivered multimillion dollar initiatives for state and federal agencies, Fortune 500 companies, engineering firms, and health systems. My work includes statewide EHR and EMR implementations, enterprise data migrations, MDM modernization, PMO development, software deployments, risk remediation, and schedule recovery for programs where timelines, budgets, and operational integrity are critical to success.
Clients trust me to enter complex environments, uncover the real issues quickly, and lead with a structured plan that aligns technology, teams, and leadership. Whether modernizing clinical systems for 130 hospitals, directing statewide digital quality measure integration, correcting multimillion dollar program overruns, or standing up enterprise PMO frameworks, I bring discipline, insight, and solutions that move organizations forward.
My background includes leadership roles across healthcare, engineering, federal agencies, state government, and enterprise IT, with deep experience in risk management, organizational change, data integration, financial controls, and cross functional stakeholder alignment. I help organizations streamline operations, strengthen governance, reduce costs, and deliver results that meet both strategic and operational objectives.

Battle-Tested Expertise Across High-Stakes Environments
Two and a half decades of program leadership across state governments, federal agencies, and Fortune 500 organizations has equipped us with comprehensive knowledge of complex delivery challenges. We have successfully navigated $125M EMR implementations, federal contract compliance requirements, nuclear remediation programs, and enterprise-wide infrastructure modernizations. This is not academic theory or second-hand consulting experience, it is front-line operational expertise earned through direct accountability for outcomes in some of the nation's most demanding and scrutinized environments.
2
Precision Diagnostics That Accelerate Resolution
While traditional consultants require extended analysis cycles to formulate recommendations, we identify critical vulnerabilities and root causes within days. Our diagnostic methodology rapidly distinguishes between surface symptoms and underlying structural issues, whether stakeholder misalignment, flawed governance, vendor performance gaps, or unrealistic baseline assumptions. This accelerated insight delivery translates directly to faster course correction, reduced financial exposure, and minimized organizational disruption.
3
Deep Specialization in Regulated Environments
Government and healthcare IT programs operate under constraints that commercial implementations rarely encounter. We possess authoritative knowledge of federal acquisition regulations, state procurement frameworks, HIPAA compliance mandates, Meaningful Use requirements, and interagency coordination protocols. This specialized fluency ensures we anticipate regulatory complexities before they surface, maintain compliance throughout delivery, and navigate political and bureaucratic dynamics that frequently derail less experienced practitioners.
4
Actionable Solutions Built for Implementation
Our deliverables are designed for immediate execution, not prolonged deliberation. Whether developing recovery roadmaps for distressed projects or architecting PMO governance frameworks, we provide clear, prioritized, and implementable guidance that your teams can operationalize without requiring additional interpretation or consultant dependency. Every recommendation includes specific actions, responsible parties, realistic timelines, and measurable success criteria, enabling swift transition from assessment to execution.
