Pilot Advisors did a superior job of analyzing the problems and providing a roadmap to put corrective actions in place. We instituted the plan and within a year, our organization... went from worst to best... This resulted in an increase in award fee on contract that year of more than $500,000. I highly recommend Andrew’s services. His energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge were instrumental in our recovery of operational excellence."

"He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with us as a true advisor to the C-suite, guiding the alignment of our corporate executive, marketing, finance, and operations teams. He cut through entrenched status quo with clarity, zeroing in on what mattered most... Andrew has refined his approach—what he refers to today as a Fractional COO and executive coaching. I have absolute confidence that he will deliver the same clarity, alignment, and execution for any leadership team ready to break through to the next level!"
"Over more than three decades of engagement... He consistently delivers stability, accountability, and measurable results. I endorse him without reservation for fractional COO roles and strongly recommend his executive coaching... By the end of his engagement, JSW achieved four consecutive months of record shipping and production, while on-time delivery performance improved by nearly 100%."
