Striving to help people, and make things better a little bit at a time
Elizabeth Beres
PMP® Certified | MBA | B.S. Mechanical Engineering
Founder and Primary Consultant of Projects & Processes
As a servant leader, what drives me is helping people, solving problems, learning, and teaching.
With an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA, I speak both corporate languages fluently. I can dive deep into technical data and workflow constraints with your frontline teams, then pivot seamlessly to discuss financial forecasting and high-level strategy with your executive board.
I spent 10 years driving operational excellence, managing large-scale initiatives, and leading cross-functional teams at Whirlpool Corporation. I understand how to cut through organizational friction, align stakeholders, and manage complex operational moving parts
Great ideas fail without great execution. As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), I bring a structured, battle-tested framework to every engagement, ensuring your major initiatives avoid scope creep and hit their financial markers.
When I am not consulting, I am learning from the next generation of business leaders. I serve as an Adjunct Professor at Valparaiso University, teaching the exact Project Management methodologies I deploy out in the field. This academic environment keeps me sharp, current, and constantly refining my practices against the latest industry standards. Closer to home, I apply my executive leadership experience as the Board Chair for a local, AMS-accredited Montessori school. Leading this board has deepened my expertise in organizational governance, high-level fiscal stewardship, and building strong, mission-driven teams from the ground up.
Whether your organization needs a steady hand to steer a critical business transition, a fractional leader to institutionalize better project frameworks, or custom training to level up your internal teams, I design my engagements to fit your needs. I bring enterprise-level capability with independent agility and focus. Let’s build something easier, better, or faster, together.
