The Who & The Why
Jennifer Niemann, M.S., CSM, CSPO
The Efficiency Strategist
Most consultants tell you how work should flow on paper. I find out how it actually flows in the trenches.
As the founder and principal of PRL Strategic Consulting, I bring over 20 years of experience leading complex, multi-million-dollar technology portfolios and enterprise transformations. My career has been defined by taking a direct approach to leadership: a low tolerance for fluff, a commitment to radical transparency, and the guts to challenge the status quo to get results.
From Strategy to Execution
I specialize in the "messy middle"—the space where high-level strategic roadmaps meet the reality of operational execution. Whether managing the successful delivery of a $35M enterprise ERP program or transitioning payment systems processing $2B annually, I focus on identifying organizational seams and process gaps before they become expensive problems.
Why Work With Me?
A "Ground-Level" Perspective: I have a particular talent for extracting candid, process-level detail from technical teams and stakeholders who aren't always eager to share it.
Resilient Leadership: I have built trust and delivered results in high-pressure, technical environments at multiple global brands.
Rigorous Discipline: My background as a Certified Scrum Master (CSM) and Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) ensures a structured, disciplined approach to every engagement.
Continuous Evolution: I am a lifelong learner, currently pursuing an MBA at The Citadel to sharpen the financial and strategic lens I bring to your business. My master’s degree in Organizational Management & Leadership helps me adapt to different organizational cultures and to help businesses create and maintain cultures of continuous improvement.
The Network: Having lived and worked in the Portland, OR metropolitan area for over 20 years, I have created a network of equally qualified professionals that I leverage as needed for my projects. This network includes experts in technical writing, business analysis, change management, cybersecurity, and more. By bringing the exact skill sets that your project needs, not using your business as a training ground, we save time and money for our clients.
Oregon-certified Emerging Small Business: We are a certified Oregon Emerging Small Business (ESB). Not because we can’t compete, but because we seek to work with both public and private sector clients. Oregon is my home, and I am dedicated to making it better for all of us.
