About

A solo practice, on purpose.

Vera Oren is a fractional strategic advisory practice. One operator, no back office, no bench to bill against. That shapes how every engagement runs.

How this works

Frameworks, not a report

Every engagement produces things a team runs on Monday: licensing filings, tier definitions, price lists, standard operating procedures. Not a deck of recommendations that then has to be resourced by someone else.

Structure

Direct access, no hand-offs

There is no account manager between you and the person doing the work. One point of contact for the length of the engagement, whether that's a single project or an embedded retainer.

Position

No vested interest

An external advisor sits outside the org chart and outside the internal politics. The recommendation is the one the numbers support, not the one that protects a department.

Track record

Sixteen years in satellite, across four regions.
