Based in Manhattan Beach, California, Pivot > is renowned for its focus on delivering strategic, operational, and restructuring guidance to organizations.

I've spent my career leading companies through change, and what I've learned is that transformation starts with people—how they're inspired, empowered, and united around a common purpose.
