Independent Program Advisory

Program Advisory for Complex Programs

I help global organizations get complex transformation programs back on track — governance, post-M&A integration, executive reporting and automation. Independent advisory built on 9+ years leading these programs first-hand.

The challenge

Complex programs stall where they get hardest to manage

Post-M&A complexity

Two tech stacks, two ways of working, and a roadmap nobody fully owns.

Fragmented governance

Multiple regions and vendors with no common framework or single source of truth.

No executive visibility

Leadership lacks a reliable, real-time view of status, risk and delivery.

Manual, slow reporting

Teams burning hours on the same reports instead of driving the program.

The result: expensive teams stuck on low-value work, and decisions made on outdated data.

What I do

Senior advisory — focused, fixed-scope engagements

Program assessment

Independent review of a stalled or high-risk program, with a clear path forward.

Governance & PMO design

Frameworks, risk models and PMO structures that scale and standardize.

Post-M&A advisory

Roadmaps for technology harmonization, M365 migration and modernization.

Executive reporting

Power BI dashboards and KPI frameworks that give leadership a clear view.

Where RPA, Power Automate and AI can cut manual effort across operations.
