In July 2024, I stepped in to help lead a turnaround effort at Urban Engineers, Inc. After a focused and productive year, that chapter is moving into a new phase.  I Congratulate the two new leaders named today- Jim Bilella as CEO and Chris Bobrowski, CFO.  I worked very closely with each and know that each will do the job necessary for Urban to reach it’s objectives.  I will be remaining on the Board of Directors.   AND I’m excited to return full time to PMCC Ventures.

For those who’ve followed the journey, this latest assignment brought things full circle. Urban’s HQ is across the street from where my consulting career began in 1984. The lessons I learned in my 20s — from auditing an ENR Top 5 firm — still proved useful in my 60s. Some fundamentals really do hold up.

What’s next?

• PMCC Ventures is once again open to new engagements
• We remain focused on strategy, business readiness, leadership transitions, and unlocking value through better insight and execution
• We’re continuing to help owners prepare for and execute successful exits
  
  The M&A market is active — but more crowded and complex than ever. Standing out requires more than just a good story.
  • Performance matters
  • Sound insight and foresight is rewarded
  • A clear sense of what is possible and achievable is essential

We’re here to help business owners position themselves credibly and confidently.

But M&A is only part of the work. At our core, we still believe:
Good information + grounded leadership = real change.

More to come soon.
