Our Story

The problem is not tools or talent. It is ownership.

Frontier is a veteran-owned firm created by leaders who spent 12+ years inside programs that mattered, were funded generously, staffed by capable people, and still failed to deliver intended outcomes.

That experience spans $2M–$30M programs across enterprise platforms, cloud migration, cybersecurity, data protection, and AI and automation in regulated and high-accountability environments.

Published research on digital transformation and large-scale technology programs confirms what those years made unavoidable: a majority of major programs fail to achieve intended outcomes, eroding value at global scale.

Pattern

Programs that should succeed

Strong funding, capable teams, proven vendors. Yet outcomes slip, risks accumulate, and confidence erodes quietly.

Impact

Value at risk

Research confirms most large technology programs under-deliver, turning investment into rework, shadow projects, and lost trust.

Insight

The ownership gap

The problem is not tools or talent. It is ownership. Someone accountable for the whole picture, rewarded for finishing, not extending.

The structural problem

Vendors are rewarded for extending delivery, not completing it. Internal leaders juggle audits, operations, and politics. Program managers are accountable without authority.

Many organizations are asked to cross unfamiliar terrain without anyone responsible for charting the route, establishing structure, or ensuring the path is safe to follow.

Why Frontier exists

Frontier exists to provide owner-side delivery leadership: the role that assesses risk honestly, builds structure others can move within, and owns outcomes rather than activity.

The firm protects the mission when incentives pull in different directions and treats every decision as if it will be examined later, because it often is.

Delivery approach

  • Enter first. Constraints, risk, and incentives surfaced before momentum makes change expensive.
  • Build the base. Governance, decision rights, and delivery structure established early and deliberately.
  • Drive the mission. Execution guided with clarity, accountability, and constant risk awareness.
  • Leave supply lines. Operating models and delivery discipline remain after the engagement ends.
The Frontier standard. Leadership that organizations notice when it ends: momentum sustained, questions resolved, and steady delivery leadership present in the moments that matter most. Teams and programs left stronger than they were found.
