PJM Consulting is an advisory, interim management and management consulting practice focused on strategic and tactical enhancements at cloud software, hardware and SaaS technology companies. We work with CEOs, Boards, investors, entrepreneurs and other “C” level executives who don’t want to make sure their business is currently “clicking on all cylinders.”
We work on two levels:
- Development of overall strategies for businesses
- Tactical programs to improve revenue growth and profitability
PJM Consulting isn’t your typical “write a report and walk away” consulting firm. Our business model is to engage closely with the client to solve those most difficult business issues that even highly successful companies face. We don’t consider ourselves to be “consultants” at all, in the classical sense. Think of us more as experienced C-level technology executives that provide expertise and bandwidth not currently available on your senior staff. We can move your business forward either in a consulting capacity or providing Interim Executive Management. We focus on doing the real work that needs to get done to bring the results you need to succeed in your market.
We work with large range of technology companies, from early stage all the way up to Fortune 500 in size. Geographically we work with companies throughout the US and worldwide – going where ever the need exists.
