I've run $100M+ programs in nuclear defense and unlocked $65M in annual revenue for a global organization. Now that same discipline — stripped of the corporate overhead — goes to work for your business.
The Person Behind the Plan
I started my career running $100M+ defense programs in regulated industries where being late or over-budget simply wasn't an option. Structure isn't bureaucracy — it's the thing that makes everything else move faster.
At PMI, I led the redesign of a global membership model that generated $65M in recurring annual revenue, built PMOs from the ground up, and guided organizations through complex transformations.
The businesses who needed this kind of thinking most — small and mid-sized companies — were the ones who couldn't access it. The tools exist. The methods work. They just need to be sized right.
That's why Ironwood Advisory exists. I take what I've learned from the highest-stakes programs in the world and cut it down to what actually matters for a business your size. No bloated frameworks. No corporate theater. A clear plan, sharp execution, and someone accountable until it's done.
Known as a "fixer" — called in to stabilize struggling teams and turn around stalled initiatives. If something isn't working, I'll find it and fix it.
"I don't bring you enterprise process. I bring you enterprise results — at a size that actually fits."— Austin Jones, Founder · Ironwood Advisory
