Who we are

Not a consultant.
An operator
who consults.

Most consulting firms advise. Pactus Advisory executes. David Kennedy has spent over 30 years inside organizations resolving the conflicts, delivery failures, and stakeholder misalignments that standard consultants are simply not equipped to handle.

From founding and scaling a project management firm to leading customer success across a $2.8B ARR portfolio — every Pactus Advisory engagement is led by someone who has been on both sides of the table.

Why Pactus Advisory

Three things that set us apart.

01
Operator experience, not advisory theory

Every engagement is led by someone who has built companies, recovered $160M projects, and managed thousands of enterprise client escalations — not a career consultant.

02
The organizational side of every problem

Most AI failures, project disasters, and vendor disputes aren't technical problems. They're people and governance problems. We fix what others diagnose as "cultural issues."

03
Two practices, one referral engine

When consulting work surfaces a dispute requiring formal mediation or arbitration, our sister practice Atlanta Dispute Resolution provides registered, neutral resolution.

Sister practice
