CORE & GATE

About

An outcome-based advisory, built around one repeatable methodology.

Core & Gate exists to turn operational gaps into measurable business cases — combining strategy, benchmarking, and implementation, rather than handing off a recommendation and leaving.

Fixed fees, senior ownership through go-live, one gated method, every initiative tied to ROI. See how we work

Founder, Core & Gate

LinkedIn

20+ years leading global ERP and SAP transformation programs, including tenure at Deloitte and EY. Works directly with the sponsors and teams delivering the program — not from a status deck, but from inside the decisions.

The deepest track record is in ERP and SAP-led programs, but the same methodology applies to any process with a measurable gap — SAP is one execution path the business case can require, not the starting point.

Philosophy

Most transformation programs don't fail on strategy — they fail on execution discipline: unclear ownership, untested assumptions, and decisions made too late to matter. Core & Gate exists to put structure and independent judgment back into that gap, phase by phase, with fixed deliverables and fixed fees at every stage.
