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

I'm Taylor Lombardo, PMP®, and I build enterprise PMO infrastructure that operations teams at mid-market companies can run without me.
Most teams I work with are managing 10+ initiatives with spreadsheets and Slack threads. Leadership asks "What's at risk?" and nobody can answer. Tools sit unused. Priorities are set by whoever yells loudest.
I've solved these problems before—at scale, under pressure, in high-stakes environments. As VP of the Project Management Office at a $1B financial institution, I built PMO systems from scratch during high-stakes conversions and regulatory launches.
Latino Community Credit Union (2024-2025): Thirty days before an 80-system core system conversion, readiness was stuck at 29%. As VP PMO, it was my responsibility to lead the final push. We hit 90% in 30 days through daily stand-ups, issue remediation, and system testing. Launched flawlessly with zero member disruption. Vendors with 30+ years of experience called it "one of the best-run conversions they'd ever seen."
State Employees' Credit Union (2022-2024): Built marketing operations infrastructure from the ground up at $50B credit union. Trained teams on JIRA, led migration to Monday.com, established workflows and governance that scaled with the organization. Managed high-stakes projects requiring Board of Directors reporting during organizational transformation. Now I bring that VP-level PMO infrastructure to mid-market companies in focused 3-6 week buildouts.
My background spans industries most consultants never touch: event and game-day operations for Stanley Cup champions, beverage distribution for international airports, marketing operations for national brands, and back-office infrastructure for financial institutions. This range gives me pattern recognition other consultants don't have—I see what works across contexts, not just within one vertical.
Following the launch, I built a full enterprise PMO: portfolio systems, governance frameworks, compliance documentation, and training programs the team still uses today.
Now I bring that VP-level PMO infrastructure to mid-market companies in focused 3-6 week buildouts.

why traditional
pmo consulting fails
❌ They take too long: 6-12 months is standard
❌ They create dependency: ongoing fees, forever
❌ They use junior consultants: you pay VP-level rates, get associate-level delivery
The result? Expensive slide decks. Teams that can't run the system independently. Frustration all around.
I do it differently. I build the actual infrastructure in your tools, train your team to run it, and hand over complete ownership in 3-6 weeks.

my approach
I deliver enterprise-grade PMO infrastructure fast because:
✅ I'm platform-agnostic. I've built these systems across industries in Smartsheet, JIRA, Monday.com, Asana, Notion, and others—I work with your existing tool or help you select the right one.
✅ These are proven frameworks. Battle-tested processes and governance.
✅ Clear timelines and fixed-scope. Zero ongoing dependency.
✅ I do the work personally. No junior consultants, no handoffs.
The result: Complete knowledge transfer. Your team owns it from day one.

who i work with
Mid-market companies (100-1,000+ employees) managing 5-35 concurrent projects and campaigns in:
→ Regulated finance: credit unions, banks, fintech
→ Tech & SaaS: Series A to Series B scaling phase
→ Professional services: consulting, legal, accounting
→ Healthcare: compliance-heavy project portfolios
I've also built PMO infrastructure for national brands (Anheuser-Busch), sports franchises (NHL, MLS), and property management. My focus now is mid-market organizations facing visibility gaps, low tool adoption, or scaling chaos, regardless of industry.
If you're managing 15+ initiatives and leadership is asking "What's at risk?" in every meeting, let's talk.

what makes me different
Most PMO consultants are either tool experts, strategy consultants, or former PMs.
I'm all three:
✅ VP-level strategic experience: I've built PMOs during major transformations. I know how executives think about portfolio risk, resource allocation, and strategic alignment.
✅ Hands-on technical skills: I build dashboards, workflows, and automations in your PM tool, not just advise.
✅ Training-first approach: I create documentation, training, and knowledge transfer systems so you're never dependent.
✅ Board and executive experience: I've provided reporting to Boards of Directors and C-suite at billion-dollar organizations.
✅ Dual specialization: I've built PMO systems for operations teams AND marketing teams.
Plus: I lead with empathy, not ego. I've managed teams through burnout, high turnover, and impossible deadlines. I know when to push and when to give people space. I know what it's like to juggle competing priorities, manage energy (not just time), and deliver excellence when the pressure's on.
