About us

After more than 30 years leading operations, asset management, and financial strategy across the affordable housing industry, I saw a persistent gap: organizations were rich in potential but hampered by silos, inconsistent execution, and underutilized talent. I founded Unicorn Strategies Consulting LLC to help owners, operators, and investors build high-performing organizations that don’t just survive audits or budgets — they lead with clarity, execute with precision, and grow with purpose. I know what works because I’ve done the work — and now I help others do it better, smarter, and with lasting impact.

What Makes Us Unique

At Unicorn Strategies Consulting LLC, we don’t believe excellence should be rare. With over three decades of executive leadership in affordable housing, asset management, and operations, we bring a level of depth, clarity, and accountability that sets us apart from traditional consulting firms.

Here’s what makes us different:

✅ Executive Expertise That’s Been in the Trenches

We’ve led portfolios of 80,000+ units, built high-performing teams across the country, and managed complex financials, compliance, and operations. We bring real-world, real-results experience — not just advice from the sidelines.

✅ Strategic Thinking, Operational Precision

We don’t just build strategy — we build systems, teams, and structures that deliver. From NOI improvement to compliance alignment, we help clients execute with focus, discipline, and measurable outcomes.

✅ Human-Centered, Performance-Driven

We know strong performance starts with strong people. Whether coaching executives or training frontline staff, we embed accountability, leadership, and collaboration into every layer of your organization.

✅ Clarity in Complexity

Affordable housing is never simple — but it doesn’t have to be chaotic. We cut through noise, untangle operational challenges, and help you regain control of your portfolio with insight and confidence.

✅ We Don’t Just Consult — We Stay Until It’s Working

We partner with you through implementation. We mentor your leaders, strengthen your teams, and remain engaged until your goals become results.

Bottom line? We make organizations stronger, leaders sharper, and outcomes sustainable.

Addressing misconceptions about consulting

A common misconception about consulting is that “Consultants come in, tell us what we already know, and leave us with a fancy report that no one uses.” At Unicorn Strategies Consulting LLC, we don’t just analyze — we operationalize. We roll up our sleeves, align with your team, and translate insight into action. We offer:

  • Tactical solutions, not theory
  • Implementation support, not just PowerPoint slides
  • Ongoing accountability, not one-and-done engagements

We don't leave until your teams are clear, aligned, and capable of sustaining the progress we helped you build. In short: We don’t consult from the sidelines — we lead from experience.
