30+ years building systems that help people make better decisions — from Wall Street trading floors to small business operations.
I started Predictive Pace because I watched too many companies waste money on consultants who delivered slides instead of solutions.
Now I bring Fortune 500 discipline to businesses that can’t afford to hire McKinsey — but still need to know what’s working and what’s not.
I spent 15+ years at places like BlackRock, EY, and Dell EMC managing programs worth billions. I saw what works at scale — and more importantly, I saw what doesn’t.
I watched companies spend millions on analytics platforms no one used. I saw dashboards built for executives who never logged in. I sat through strategy decks that took 6 months to create and 6 minutes to forget.
When I left corporate, I knew I wanted to do the opposite: work directly with business owners who need answers fast, build things people actually use, and tie every dollar spent to a result you can measure.
That’s Predictive Pace. No layers. No mystery. Just clarity, execution, and outcomes.
I’ve managed operations at the largest scale — and built solutions for the smallest teams. That range is the point.
Past clients & employers include: BlackRock, EY, Dell EMC, and various growth-stage businesses

If we can’t explain what problem we’re solving and how we’ll know it worked, we’re not ready to build anything.
A working solution this month beats a perfect solution next quarter. We can always make it better once it’s live.
The fanciest dashboard is worthless if no one checks it. I build for the people who’ll actually touch it every day.
I’ll tell you if something isn’t worth doing — even if that means less work for me. I’d rather earn your referral than your next invoice.
It can save you real time and money — if applied to the right problems. I’ll help you figure out which ones.

When you hire Predictive Pace, you work with me. Not a junior analyst. Not a project coordinator. Me.
I take on a limited number of clients so I can do the work well. If you’re curious whether I can help, let’s talk — 30 minutes, no pitch, no pressure.
