The Path From Ops Lead To COO
A Consulting Career Playbook
A lot of delivery leaders are brilliant at keeping work moving, but still hit a ceiling when it comes to career progression. This episode unpacks the capability that changes that: commercial control, and how mastering it can move you from running delivery to shaping the future of your professional services firm.
Projectworks CEO Mark Orttung has built his career growing and selling both consulting firms and technology companies.
Projectworks CCO Dominique Rennell advises global consulting firms on how to scale their growth and operations effectively.
Strong delivery leaders keep projects on track. The ones who step into executive roles do more than that. They understand how delivery affects revenue, margin, and the commercial health of the firm, and they know how to act before value slips away.
In this episode, we unpack what helps delivery leaders break through the ceiling and become more strategic operators inside a consulting firm.
Join us to learn:
- Why some delivery leaders move into executive roles while others stay seen as project operators
- Where project margin really disappears, and why it is usually a series of small misses rather than one big failure
- How better visibility, tighter controls, and faster intervention help protect revenue before it is too late
