Hello! I'm a management and strategy consultant with 9+ years of experience. My mission is to help you thoroughly understand your position in the competitive landscape and craft a strategy that will produce a sustainable competitive advantage. My core competencies are:
• Comprehensive research, analysis, and planning
• Creative problem solving
My most common deliverables are as follows:
• Hourly/on retainer advisory, helping you set better goals, solve problems, and make better decisions
• Industry, competitor, and target market research, helping you better understand trends and your competitive landscape
• Marketing and business plans, helping you establish or improve your competitive position
• Production and operations improvement (including procurement, production, distribution, management, operations, systems, and/or human resources), helping you decrease costs, be leaner, increase profitability, be more structured/better organized, increase productivity, and increase efficiency
• Sales and service improvement, helping you increase sales volume, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty
• Comprehensive business research, analysis, and strategy, helping you in some number or all of the above areas
• Other projects upon request
What differentiates me from other business consultants is:
1. All levels of my education were in business, resulting in greater expertise than someone who only has a MBA; I also have complimentary education in Accounting, Human Resources, and Psychology
2. I am more detail-oriented and comprehensive in my approach, using intellectual property (e.g. consulting procedures and resulting deliverables) that I have personally developed, is unique to me, and goes beyond the standards of top consulting firms
3. I have a greater focus on lean operations, helping you avoid unnecessary spending and be more efficient, effective, and profitable throughout your growth
I look forward to helping you reach your goals.
