Executive Advisory
From delivery chaos to operational predictability.
Senior advisory for technology and operations executives. I help complex software and automation organizations restore execution predictability — fewer escalations, reliable go-lives, an honest read on what will ship.

Engineering + PMO + operations leadership
Problems this practice solves
Delivery instability
Missed timelines, reactive execution, escalations running the week, and no reliable forecast of what will actually ship.
Scaling chaos
Growth has outpaced the informal model that got you here — fragmented ownership, inconsistent governance, operational friction.
Engineering–business misalignment
Disconnected priorities, poor visibility, and unclear accountability between delivery, engineering, and the business.
Warehouse automation execution risk
Exposure across WMS/WES/WCS programs — systems integration, commissioning, operational readiness, and go-live stabilization.
AI without operational ROI
AI initiatives with no operating-model footprint — pilots that never become production, decks that never move a KPI.
Reliability and incident debt
Rising MTTR, recurring escalations, and post-mortems that do not change anything — reliability traded for short-term velocity.
Services
Delivery Stabilization
Get an at-risk program back to predictable.
- Program and go-live recovery
- Escalation reduction and incident discipline
- Delivery forecast and risk visibility
- Recovery cadence and clear decision rights
Engineering & Delivery Operating Model
Make execution repeatable, not heroic.
- PMO build or redesign; SDLC operating model
- Governance and decision rights (ARB / CAB / CCB)
- KPI scorecards that drive decisions, not reporting
- Engineering org and delivery cadence design
Platform Modernization & Reliability
Make the platform and the engineering org performant.
- Cloud modernization (AWS, Kubernetes, OpenShift)
- CI/CD, DevSecOps, build and release platform engineering
- Reliability engineering and incident discipline (MTTR, uptime)
- Engineering productivity and developer experience
Fractional Delivery Leadership & Applied AI in Operations
Senior delivery leadership on demand.
- Interim VP / Head of Delivery
- Transformation program leadership
- Applied GenAI shipped into production, not pilots
- PMO agents and execution visibility that move real KPIs (MTTR, cycle time)

Global software & automation programs
AI is being layered on systems that aren’t ready. Without reliable data pipelines, observability, and feedback loops, AI remains conceptual — not operational.
Representative engagements
Stabilizing a global delivery organization
- Challenge
- 60+ concurrent initiatives, slipping timelines, and an escalation-driven operating posture with no reliable delivery forecast.
- Action
- Built a global Software PMO, established decision rights and KPI scorecards, and ran a disciplined recovery cadence.
- Outcome
- 96% on-time delivery restored, 25% cycle-time reduction, 15% gross-margin improvement.
Scaling SaaS engineering operations across a global studio
- Challenge
- Build, DevOps, QA, and automation supporting 22 live products across a globally distributed engineering org — rising build times, inconsistent quality gates.
- Action
- Stood up a 12–15 person platform engineering team (Build, DevOps, QA, Automation), productized shared frameworks, and scaled CI/CD across distributed teams.
- Outcome
- 15% build-time reduction; consistent quality and release cadence across 22 live products.
De-risking enterprise warehouse-automation go-lives
- Challenge
- Multi-site WMS/WES/WCS rollouts carrying commissioning and integration risk under a reactive incident posture.
- Action
- Operational-readiness governance, systems-integration oversight, reliability engineering, and incident discipline.
- Outcome
- 22% uptime improvement and 47% MTTR reduction year-over-year.
Scaling delivery from startup through acquisition
- Challenge
- Founding-stage platform delivery scaling across 30+ enterprise clients on manual, error-prone release processes.
- Action
- Structured release management, CI/CD automation, and on-prem-to-AWS cloud migration.
- Outcome
- Test cycles cut from 4 days to 2 hours; 45% reduction in rework.

Field notes
Who you would be working with
Prospera Consulting is led by Patty Reddy — a technology and operational transformation executive who has led large-scale software delivery, platform engineering, warehouse-automation programs, and enterprise governance across global organizations.
The career arc runs from hands-on engineering through global delivery leadership: building PMOs from scratch, modernizing platforms to AWS and Kubernetes, standing up governance and KPI systems, and operationalizing AI in delivery. Engagements are founder-led and senior by default — no translation layer between strategy and execution.
Applied GenAI in delivery and engineering operations — PMO agents, execution visibility, productivity tooling — deployed in production and measured by KPI movement. Not a deep-ML or model-building practice.
