ABOUT US
Solutions & Strategy Consulting LLC. is a Travel Management group dedicated to establishing strong travel management programs, no matter the size, the footprint or the complexity. From selecting the right partners though RFP to setting corporate travel policy or ensuring optimal traveler engagement, we bring expertise and structured roadmaps to the success of your program.
WHY SOLUTIONS & STRATEGY
The idea of Solutions & Strategy came from the realization that in today's environment, companies' structures change rapidly and the function and scope of travel management is changing as well. Utilizing outside expertise can be the best way to refocus internal resources. We are able to quickly identify the gaps and the opportunities that those changes are bringing to organizations and we leverage our extensive knowledge to consult on travel department structure, needs and objectives. Solutions & Strategy can easily supplement your existing internal travel management resources, work on specific projects, or even geography, or we can provide full travel program solutions. While we have the knowledge of a variety of types of Travel Programs, we believe in customized solutions. We believe the solid foundation of a travel program that will guarantee cost control and unique travel experience starts with a clear vision of the goals and objectives, bringing best-in-class recommendations and professional execution.

I believe in developing customized solutions and the importance of building strong partnerships. Second to being a creative problem-solver, I enjoy the trust and teamwork that I have built with my clients. Outside of the office, I keep informed on industry trends, stay connected with key stakeholders and am a Board Member of SVBTA (Silicon Valley Business Travel Association).

A motivated and achievement oriented individual whose passion is to identify and design a solution that brings value to any situation.

My exposure, direct ownership and senior level involvement in a broad range of program types and industries provides a unique perspective and value for client organizations. The complexity of travel has escalated over the past several years due to the variety of touchpoints both inside and outside of a corporation including the integration of technology. The value proposition to this equation is my ability to identify, streamline and simplify the process while creating a strategy with an achievable outcome.
