Enterprise Automation Consulting
Fortune 50 Capabilities at Mid-Market Pricing
Consulting Philosophy
Most mid-market companies ($50M-$500M revenue) face a painful gap: They need enterprise-grade automation and AI—the kind that Fortune 500 companies deploy—but cannot afford Accenture, Deloitte, or McKinsey at $300-$500/hour with 6-month minimum engagements.
I bridge this gap: Enterprise-scale expertise from HCA Healthcare and Accenture, delivered at accessible pricing for companies who need results but do not have Fortune 500 budgets.
My Approach
- •Hands-on implementation, not just strategy decks
- •Technology-agnostic recommendations (no vendor bias)
- •Knowledge transfer, not dependency creation
- •ROI-driven prioritization with financial modeling
- •Proven at scale (HCA Healthcare, Accenture)
What Makes Me Different
- •I write code and deploy systems, not just PowerPoint
- •No platform to sell—recommend what actually solves your problem
- •Document everything and train your team for self-sufficiency
- •Every recommendation includes ROI and payback period
- •Enterprise-tested approaches, not experimental

I maintain a highly selective practice (2-3 projects annually) to ensure exceptional delivery while balancing full-time responsibilities at HCA Healthcare.
