About Us
Lumen Strategic Consulting, LLC was founded in 2024 to solve a problem I witnessed repeatedly across more than a decade in public service. Organizations trapped in reactive cycles, fighting the same fires, never finding time to lead strategically.
Leadership knew what needed to change, teams were working hard, but operational reality never matched intent.
The problem wasn't effort or capability. The problem was invisible system misalignments between people, processes, and culture that everyone had stopped noticing.
I saw this pattern across organizations of every size and structure. Leaders would set direction but operations couldn't execute. Culture contradicted stated values. Processes designed for smaller teams created bottlenecks as organizations grew.
Lumen Exists to illuminate what's hidden. To bring those invisible misalignments into focus so leaders can fix what's really broken.
