A master at organizational alchemy and champion of transformative change, Bryan brings a blend of strategic insight and hands-on experience to his role as Principal. With a career spanning nonprofit, life sciences, private equity, and SaaS and technology sectors, he has honed his talent for navigating complex business terrain and driving tangible business outcomes.

At Navigate, Bryan leverages his expertise in product management, agile methodologies, and organizational transformation to help clients overcome their most pressing challenges. His approach combines analytical rigor with creative problem-solving, whether he’s orchestrating an enterprise-wide agile transformation or aligning C-suite strategies with ground-level execution. Bryan’s collaborative leadership style and unwavering integrity have earned him a reputation as a trusted advisor who delivers results.

Bryan’s professional journey began in the nonprofit sector, where he built a strong foundation in various business functions and cultivated his passion for youth development through sports-based programs. This experience instilled in him a deep-seated belief in the power of purpose-driven work and the ability to create meaningful impact in any organizational setting—a philosophy that continues to underpin his approach to consulting.

Bryan’s process centers on cultivating organizational resilience; empowering companies to not just weather uncertainty, but to thrive in it. His focus on creating high-performing, outcome-oriented teams helps businesses stay well ahead of the curve.

A Jersey Shore native now calling the Philadelphia suburbs home, Bryan brings a down-to-earth yet determined mindset to everything he does. His diverse interests mirror his professional versatility: when he’s not reimagining business processes or mentoring the next generation of leaders, Bryan can be found exploring the zen-like focus of disc golf, diving into the pages of a good book, or relaxing with his wife and two young sons.
