about tl consulting
VP-level PMO expertise. Delivered personally. Owned by you forever.

I'm Taylor Lombardo, PMP®. I build VP-level PMO infrastructure in 3-6 weeks, then train your team to run it without me.
Most teams I work with are drowning: 15+ projects managed across spreadsheets and Slack. Leadership asking "What's at risk?" and nobody can answer. Tools sitting unused. Priorities set by whoever yells loudest. I fix this fast because I've solved these problems before at scale, under pressure, in high-stakes environments.
RECENT WORK:
VP, Project Management Office | Latino Community Credit Union (2024-2025): Thirty days before an 80-system core conversion, readiness was stuck at 29%. As VP PMO, I led the final push: daily stand-ups, issue remediation, system testing. We hit 90% readiness in 30 days and launched flawlessly with zero member disruption.
Vendors with 30+ years of experience called it "one of the best-run conversions they'd ever seen."
Following the launch, I built the full enterprise PMO: portfolio dashboards, governance frameworks, compliance documentation, and training programs the team still uses today.
Project Management & Marketing Ops | State Employees' Credit Union (2022-2024): Built marketing operations infrastructure from the ground up at a $50B institution. Trained teams on JIRA, led migration to Monday.com, established governance workflows that scaled with the organization. Managed high-stakes initiatives requiring Board of Directors reporting during major organizational transformation.
what makes
me different
✅ I'm platform-agnostic. I've built PMO systems in Smartsheet, JIRA, Monday.com, Asana, and Notion. I work with your existing tool or help you choose the right one.
✅ Crisis-tested infrastructure. I've launched systems during regulatory exams, board scrutiny, and impossible deadlines where failure wasn't an option.
✅ Training-first approach: 30-40% of every engagement is knowledge transfer. Your team owns and operates everything.
✅ I lead with empathy, not ego. I've managed teams through burnout and impossible deadlines. I know when to push and when to give people space.
who this is for
If you're drowning in project chaos and leadership demands answers you can't provide, I can help.
my background
→ Event and game day operations for Stanley Cup champions
→ Beverage distribution for international airports and major music venues
→ Nonprofit program management and reporting
→ Marketing operations for national brands
→ PMO infrastructure for billion-dollar financial institutions
This range gives me pattern recognition other consultants don't have. I see what works across contexts, not just within one vertical. I've built systems for operations teams AND marketing teams. I know compliance-heavy environments AND fast-moving creative workflows.
Now I bring that VP-level expertise to mid-market companies in focused 3-6 week buildouts.
why most pmo Consulting fails
The result?
❌ Expensive slide decks.
❌ Teams that can't run the system independently.
❌ Ongoing fees forever.
I do it differently.
✅ I build the infrastructure in YOUR tools.
✅ I train YOUR team to run it.
✅ I hand over complete ownership in 3-6 weeks.
No dependencies. No ongoing fees. No drama.
