Why I Started ALN Partners
ERP implementations are among the most consequential initiatives a company undertakes. When execution falters, the impact extends far beyond the project itself, affecting operations, financial reporting, and leadership confidence.
ALN Partners was built to help companies avoid that outcome.
After years leading ERP and enterprise technology initiatives as a CIO and senior advisor at mid-market PE-backed companies and Fortune 500 enterprises, including The Home Depot and Chevron, I began noticing a consistent pattern: Projects rarely struggled because of the technology. They struggled when execution drifted — ownership blurred, system integrators began driving decisions, and leadership teams lost clear visibility into whether the program was truly on track.
Having led these programs from the inside, I understand how quickly that drift can occur — and how difficult it can be for leadership teams to regain control once it does.
ALN Partners works with CEOs, CFOs, and operating partners in private PE–backed and mid-market companies to restore governance, alignment, and execution discipline when ERP implementations begin to lose control.
The objective is simple: restore control before execution drift becomes operational or financial disruption.
“ALN successfully orchestrated the divestiture of their client from the former parent, setting the technology strategy and executing with perfection; a particularly notable achievement given that the client was transacting business all during the process. Throughout the project, I observed ALN managing the conversion with an incredibly steady hand and degree of thoroughness that I have never before witnessed.”
