Jason Hanover
vice president, delivery operations | partner
“When working on complex megaprojects, there is no standard; each project has unique complexities and unknowns that threaten to push it over budget and behind schedule. Informed by 30 years of operations experience and my experience as colonel in the U.S. Air Force Special Operations, I help clients meet challenges and see pathways to success.”
Richard Neale

“When an executive or team has a bold goal and the way to achieving it is unclear, I bring a keen ear and compassion for the inevitable challenges to help shine a light on the path forward. I work with leaders to understand the impact they can make and how they can galvanize their teams and achieve what they intend.”
Larry Panish

“Our clients in the oil and gas industry hire us to ensure they meet their most critical targets for schedule, cost, and safety on multi-billion-dollar megaprojects. We save them many millions of dollars when they deliver on these goals with certainty. I have a unique and enthusiastic style that inspires all the different parties to be transparent and work effectively together.”
Carla Sadoff
partner
“When looking at complex projects, there are two things that can influence projects so that they miss their mark—a leader or team not in coherence and a challenge that hasn’t been addressed or seen. With my ability to balance intuitive thinking with linear thinking, I can discern what’s important to address, mitigate the challenges before something becomes bigger, and harmonize people with processes.”
John Warne
partner
“Businesses today are increasingly challenged to improve performance. Business performance is a metric. People aren’t metrics. People need transparency, ownership, and heart. It takes a balance between working the metric goals of the business and empowering the heart goals of the people. I enable structure, velocity, and success for organizations using this balanced perspective as part of the Execution Certainty™ team at Lumeri.”
Tom Zapolski
