Experience

1. Business Operations Consultant

   Lehmann Ops Consulting

   Jan 2023 — Present · Austin, TX, US

   CORPORATE PROFILE: A Business Consulting Company. RESPONSIBILITY PROFILE: I am responsible for assessing client issues to recommend solutions and providing referrals, creating bid overview packages/contracts, meeting with stakeholders, employees, and vendors to develop and document goals, researching solutions, and creating steps to execute improvement plans.ACHIEVED IN THIS ROLEACQUISITION INTEGRATION / PROCESS IMPROVEMENT / SYSTEMS INTEGRATION• A parent company requested support assimilating with a new acquisition. I championed a customized transition blueprint integrating technical infrastructure, roles, policies, communication protocols, and KPIs. I mediated intercompany communication, identified issues, presented findings, and recommended solutions. Within ~30 days, directors had an executable action plan with metrics. Employee morale improved, and this was replicated in subsequent acquisitions.OPERATIONAL OPTIMIZATION / CHANGE MANAGEMENT / PROCESS IMPROVEMENT• A national retailer building new locations faced project management challenges, missed targets, and internal conflicts. The Regional VP entrusted me to streamline the PM workflow and mitigate issues. Over ~120 days, I gathered insights, reviewed PM tools, and identified a lack of clear protocols and procedures. I created an org chart, schematic workflow, and Standard Operating Procedures. This increased efficiency, reduced conflict, and became SOP/Best Practice.
