I help leaders connect strategy to delivery, turning direction into motion and complexity into rhythm. Clients bring me in when growth, transition, or change creates drag. I bring structure, momentum, and calm execution to the work that matters most, aligning vision, systems, and teams so progress becomes predictable. Think of me as the integrator between strategy and operations, part advisor, part builder, part operator. I combine the polish of enterprise consulting with the urgency of startup delivery. 1. How I Create Impact I help leaders and organizations connect strategy, systems, and delivery, so teams move faster, execute better, and scale with confidence. Project Management & Delivery Systems I design frameworks that improve visibility, accountability, and throughput. From building PMOs to structuring agile project plans, I ensure teams stay aligned on priorities, timelines, and KPIs. Operations Strategy & Process Optimization Whether it’s untangling workflows or clarifying ownership, I streamline operations to reduce friction and waste. I use proven Lean and Agile principles to help clients save time, improve coordination, and maintain consistent performance. Workflow Automation & Digital Enablement I implement low-code solutions and automation tools, including ClickUp, Power Automate, Power BI, and Make.com, to eliminate repetitive work and improve reporting. These systems provide real-time data, cleaner dashboards, and smarter decision-making. GovCon Proposal & Capture Management For government contractors, I align capture, proposal, and delivery workflows. My experience spans RFP/RFI response development, compliance reviews, red team editing, and post-award execution support. Strategic Advisory & Change Management I partner with executives and operations leaders to plan transformations, manage transitions, and embed execution habits. Every engagement includes clear documentation, training, and measurable outcomes to sustain results. 2. Who I Work With - Founders & CEOs scaling beyond founder-led delivery who need structure and leverage. - GovCon Principals & BD Leaders aligning capture, proposal, and delivery systems for consistent wins. - Operations Leaders & Chiefs of Staff bringing clarity, coordination, and accountability across initiatives. 3. Approach I operate as a Strategic Integrator, a partner who blends strategy, systems thinking, and execution discipline. Each engagement is hands-on, measurable, and designed to create leverage for the client. --- Clarify the Mission We begin by identifying goals, constraints, and priorities, translating strategy into a structured delivery plan with timelines, KPIs, and clear ownership. --- Build the System I design and implement practical solutions: project dashboards, workflow automations, SOPs, and communication cadences that keep teams aligned and accountable. --- Drive Execution I lead or guide delivery to ensure progress is visible and momentum sustained, through project reviews, sprint planning, and stakeholder alignment. --- Enable & Scale I document and train your team to own the system. You gain repeatable processes, better reporting, and reduced dependency on external support. I don’t just recommend improvements, I build the systems that make them real. 4. Client Testimonials: “Harry is one of the best program managers and leaders I’ve had the opportunity to work with. It’s clear how much he cares about his teams and the products he delivers. He doesn’t avoid hard problems, he seeks them out and addresses them head-on.” --- Mark, Enterprise / GovCon Leadership “Harry demonstrated exceptional leadership during a high-pressure contract transition. With less than three weeks’ notice, he engaged with the client, clarified timelines, and ensured all requirements were met. His communication kept stakeholders aligned and his guidance helped retain two-thirds of the team, preserving continuity of service and knowledge. Thanks to Harry’s efforts, the transition was handled smoothly, transparently, and without disruption.” --- George, Sr. Program Manager (Contract Transition) “I had a difficult challenge with ClickUp and project management systems creation. Harry was knowledgeable and quick to understand our needs, implementing systems that allow our business to run more efficiently. I’ll continue to work with him in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for top talent.” --- Chris, Company Owner (ClickUp Implementation) If you’re ready to get off defense and back on offense, with clear strategy and clean execution, let’s talk.
