Every system has a cost. I find out who's paying it.
When something keeps breaking and nobody can say why, I find where it's actually breaking, across the people, the process, and the technology, so your teams get their bandwidth back.
People matter.
Want me to take a closer look? Let's start with a free 15-minute conversation.
Working sessions in person or virtual, $500 an hour. For in-person sessions, I come to you; travel costs, if any, are agreed in writing before we book.
What happens when we work together
- A free 15-minute fit call to discuss the problem.
- A Working Session, in person or virtual, at $500 an hour. For in-person sessions, travel costs, if any, are agreed in writing before we book.
- A written follow-up: what we found, what's still unknown, and your options from here.
Because you are a human, let us meet as people. I will come to you, or we can meet virtually, wherever you are in the world.
Why me
I spent nearly ten years in federal redress operations at DHS TRIP. I wrote system requirements, developed 35+ SOPs, and trained leadership and staff across DHS components. In 2014, CBP formally recognized the work, including a 10%+ reduction in administrative tasks, achieved without purchasing new technology, by leveraging the technology we already had.
Constraint flipping: where others see a rule as a wall, I find the lever, so we can engineer a bridge.
I don't make decisions for people. I make sure they have the information, resources, and support to make their own.
Sometimes what I find is uncomfortable. Care is not the absence of discomfort. Care is what we do when discomfort arrives.
People matter.
