ABOUT OMRI

Implementation leader.
Builder. Connector.

Over 15 years working across government, operations, implementation, and emerging technology have taught me that the hardest problems rarely fit neatly into one discipline. I help organizations understand those intersections and turn complexity into practical action.

My career spans regional planning, local government, and 10 years at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, where I worked across national policy, program implementation, environmental compliance, enterprise systems, technical assistance, training, and cross-functional operations.

Practical. Execution-focused. Built for adoption. Good strategy only matters if people can actually implement it. OG Consulting focuses on solutions that work within real organizations, real constraints, and real operating environments.
