Based in Arkansas and primarily serving Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Tennessee — but we'll travel anywhere our clients need us.
Industries We Focus On
We serve a wide range of industries, but we focus on the operations other resilience firms overlook — manufacturing plants, lumber mills, cannabis operations, corrections facilities, and others where a single disruption can shut down production or put people at risk.
Why Organizations Choose PAI
Most resilience consultants have never managed a real crisis. I have.
I rebuilt Jack Henry's BC/DR program under a federal regulatory agreement after Hurricane Sandy. I led crisis response as VP of Crisis Management at Bank OZK, where I learned what BC/DR information actually helps during real incidents — and what's just compliance theater.
I've consulted with Fortune 500 companies across healthcare, financial services, aerospace, retail, and entertainment — helping organizations build resilience programs that work in the real world.
That's why I started PAI Consulting: to bring real practitioner expertise at reasonable rates, not inflated consulting fees for templated plans.
