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.
Outcome-based, not time-based
Engagements are scoped around a measurable result, not billed hours. Every phase has a fixed deliverable and a fixed fee.
Strategy, benchmarking, and implementation in one team
Most advisories stop at the recommendation. Core & Gate maps the value, quantifies the gap against a benchmark, and stays through implementation and go-live.
One repeatable methodology
Every engagement — regardless of industry or process — runs through the same 7-step methodology, so results are comparable and the plan is never improvised.

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.
