Willow Consulting
What would it mean if your next big initiative actually worked?
Most small businesses and nonprofits have the vision. What they're missing is the structure, leadership, and follow-through to see it through. Willow Consulting brings senior-level project and change management expertise to the organizations that need it most — without the enterprise price tag.
You have the idea. We make it happen.
AI-Enabled Change Management
Change at the Speed of Intelligence
No matter the type of change, 70% of organizational change initiatives fail — not because the strategy was wrong, but because no one managed the human side of the transition.SMBs rarely have a dedicated change management expert on staff, which means they absorb the cost of that gap in overtime, turnover, and missed milestones.Running a growing business is hard enough without having to also be your own project manager, change strategist, and IT coordinator.That's exactly why Willow exists — bringing expert-level guidance to help your team navigate change confidently, with the support of modern AI tools to keep every detail on track.Every engagement is built on three principles that make change stick.Click the images to learn how every engagement is built on three principles that make change stick; Adaptive Strategies, Data Backed Empathy, & On-Demand Scaling.
Why Willow
Karin Gayvert, PMP & MSKarin is a certified PMP with deep expertise in AI‑driven project management, cloud environments, and organizational change. She has led enterprise implementations for global firms including AHEAD, Alight Solutions, and Siemens — always with people at the center of every decision.A first‑generation college graduate from Pittsburgh, Karin grew up a self‑described “kid of steel,” shaped by the collapse of the steel mills and the resilience that followed. She learned early that transformation isn’t something that happens to you — it’s something you navigate with grit, strategy, and heart. That mindset carried her through a Master’s in Organizational Leadership from Robert Morris University and into a 25‑year career delivering complex projects across healthcare, HR technology, IT infrastructure, and human capital management.
It’s the same drive that took her to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, across a 100‑mile bike race, and over a half‑marathon finish line.Before founding Willow Consulting, Karin spent 25+ years leading enterprise technology transformations for global organizations. One of her career-defining projects — leading the development of a first-of-kind, on-demand API framework for real-time financial transactions at Hewitt Associates — was recognized by InformationWeek as one of the Top 100 Technologies to Watch in 2010. Built without an industry model and delivered against a timeline established on little more than a calculated risk, it taught her the leadership principle that still drives Willow today: when the path forward is unclear, what matters most is keeping people moving with confidence and purpose.Traditional consulting looks in the rearview mirror. Willow uses AI to look through the windshield — turning organizational change from a disruption into a competitive advantage.We’re not a big firm that forces you into a template. We’re your partner in Maryland — close enough to know your community, sharp enough to see around corners.Willow Consulting is the natural next chapter: bringing Karin’s hard‑won expertise directly to the small and midsize businesses of Maryland that deserve a strategic partner,
not just a vendor.
