Principal-led consulting by Lorenzo Slay, PMP

Strategy and delivery leadership for technical teams navigating ambiguity.

I build the structure — systems engineering and project management methods — that turns unclear, complex work into a clear path to outcomes.

Available for fractional strategy leadership, scoped delivery support, and project recovery.

01
Principal-Led by Design

SlayCorp is a principal-led strategy management practice for technical teams that need clear priorities, clean execution, and reliable communication. I use systems engineering and project management methods to make ambiguous work legible — then hold that structure in place until the outcome lands. On every engagement I own the strategy and the standard the work is held to.

Working model

Engagements are scoped to the outcome, not to one calendar. I lead the strategy and stay your point of escalation; defined, non-critical workstreams can be carried by trained support delivering to the same documented standard.

Ways to Engage
01 / Fractional leadership

Strategy and delivery leadership without a full-time hire.

Support for prioritization, delivery cadence, stakeholder communication, and product/program decisions when a team needs senior PM capacity.

02 / Scoped delivery support

Defined help for a specific workstream or deliverable.

Requirements clarification, backlog refinement, delivery plans, executive updates, issue/risk tracking, or developer-ready handoffs.

03 / Project recovery

Structure for work that has become unclear or stalled.

Assessment of scope, commitments, blockers, dependencies, and next actions so the team can regain a practical path forward.

03
Typical Support
Product

Clarify customer needs, product priorities, MVP scope, acceptance criteria, and feedback that should reach engineering.

Project

Build practical plans, issue logs, risk/dependency views, status updates, and delivery alignment materials.

Agile

Improve backlog flow, board hygiene, WIP discipline, standups, demos, readouts, and release-focused delivery cadence.

Technical

Coordinate across GitHub, Jira, AI/ML products, APIs, MCP connections, LLM workflows, and engineering handoffs.

Relevant Background
National securityIntelligence operations, regional advisory work, computer-network operations watch, and national-level operations coordination
NuclearPM/product support for a service provider building AI products for nuclear teams, including delivery planning, agile cadence, and customer-facing artifacts
ToolsPractical fluency with GitHub, Jira, AI/ML, APIs, MCP, LLMs, and agentic PM workflows
05
Modern PM Tooling

Technology is part of the toolkit, not the headline. I support teams working in GitHub, Jira, AI/ML product environments, API-connected systems, MCP-enabled workflows, and LLM tools — while keeping the engagement focused on practical product and project outcomes.
