Meet MaryAnn

The Operator Behind the Outcome

For over two decades, I’ve been the go-to crisis strategist behind the scenes of some of the most complex disasters and national emergencies this country has faced. From collapsed systems to political firestorms, I’ve walked into chaos and walked out with results—fast, clear, and measurable.

I’ve stood up disaster operations in days, restored shattered public trust, and mobilized fractured teams into tight, high-functioning units under pressure. From the Situation Room to the border, from hurricanes to bureaucratic meltdowns—I deliver.

I don’t just give advice—I take responsibility. When failure isn’t an option, I don’t miss.
