Every engagement is built individually — never a fixed package.

Drawing on deep expertise in utility operations, financial planning, and regulatory environments, Phyllis works with each client to define the right scope, cadence, and structure.

For organizations and leaders facing consequential energy decisions, Phyllis offers strategic guidance grounded in 14 years leading Pasadena Water and Power and 30 years in city government, including as CFO of LADWP.

  • Guidance shaped around the specific strategic question at hand
  • Perspective informed by executive leadership in operations, finance, and regulatory affairs
  • Engagement structure and scope agreed with each client individually

Practical consulting support for electric and water agencies, informed by direct experience running a public utility. Scope is defined together with each client rather than delivered as a fixed methodology.

  • Consulting support scoped to the client's specific situation
  • Perspective drawn from real utility-sector operating experience
  • Available as a standalone engagement or alongside advisory work

For individual professionals and leaders, Phyllis offers coaching on an hourly basis. Sessions are structured around the client's own goals rather than a fixed curriculum.

  • Billed hourly, scheduled at a cadence that fits the client
  • Focused on the individual's goals, not a standardized program
  • Well suited to professionals facing a specific decision or transition

For clients seeking advisory or strategic planning support, this work can be structured as a retainer for ongoing needs or as a standalone engagement for a specific one-time need, with terms agreed upfront.

  • Structured as a retainer for ongoing needs, or as a standalone engagement for a one-time need
  • Terms, cadence, and scope set individually per client
