Mary Kay Taylor

As Chief Executive Officer of Strategy Dr Consulting, LLC, and a Chief of Staff, Strategy, and Portfolio Leader, I partner with organizations to drive enterprise transformation by translating strategic priorities into sequenced roadmaps, investment plans, and disciplined portfolio execution aligned to business and financial objectives. My work focuses on helping leadership teams determine what to work on, what to fund, and how to prioritize, ensuring initiatives are aligned to strategy, governed effectively, and deliver measurable value. I partner closely with executive leaders to align priorities, manage competing demands, and ensure strategic initiatives are executed effectively across the organization. I work with executive teams to align initiatives, allocate resources, and enable informed decision making across complex environments. Over more than 25 years, I have been trusted to step into high-stakes roles, often at a Chief of Staff, Strategic Initiatives, Organizational Effectiveness, or Portfolio leadership level, where clarity, prioritization, and execution discipline are critical. I have built and led strategic portfolio management approaches that provide executive visibility, support governance, and enable leaders to make trade offs around capacity, investment, and value delivery. I am often brought in to bring structure to complex operating environments by establishing portfolio governance models, building prioritization frameworks, creating portfolio visibility, and facilitating executive alignment, often in partnership with PMO and program leadership to support enterprise initiatives and cross- functional execution. My experience spans operational and capital portfolios, enterprise change initiatives, organizational effectiveness, and leadership development across technology, finance, healthcare, and consulting environments. My approach integrates Lean Portfolio Management (LPM), Lean Six Sigma, organizational development, and change leadership (ADKAR, Kotter) to connect strategy to execution and ensure value realization. I focus on building practical systems that align people, processes, and priorities, enabling organizations to execute consistently and sustain results. I help organizations align strategy, prioritize initiatives, govern execution, and ensure investments deliver measurable business value.
