PDT Global Consulting LLC

Senior-level counsel, on a boutique scale.

A founder-led, multi-industry advisory firm built around CEO/President Phyllis Trafton’s cross-sector experience. Strategy, operations, and growth — across every sector, kept distinct from any affiliated partner brand.

I. Practice areas

Six disciplines, one operating layer.

The firm’s work is narrow on purpose — six disciplines across the same handful of sectors — so the recommendations you receive are the kind that have already absorbed the seams between them. Read once across, then shipped.

  1. I.
    Strategy

    Maps that survive first contact with reality.

    Positioning, segmentation, and an operating thesis for businesses whose next eighteen months will define the next decade — not another printout of TAM math.

    DeliversA twelve-week strategic sprint: a written plan, a board-ready narrative, weekly check-ins, and one decision you can ship on Monday morning.

    Strategic advisory detail
  2. II.
    Operations

    The back office, rebuilt for throughput.

    Org structure, vendor-stack rationalization, staffing models, and the unglamorous wiring that turns customer demand into cash — across fleet, publishing, professional services, and family-office operating arms.

    DeliversA diagnostic + remediation plan with a KPI instrument you can read on a Sunday evening.

  3. III.
    Growth

    Pipeline, partnerships, and price.

    Channel design, partnership architecture, and pricing review for the moment when product-market fit has landed but the growth curve has gone flat. We work alongside sales leadership, not over them.

    DeliversA commercially-financed growth plan with a 90-day kickoff sequence and a quarter-by-quarter cadence.

    Growth advisory detail
  4. IV.
    Capital Advisory

    Capital structure, in plain language.

    Diligence, structuring, and steward-side advisory for cross-sector entities navigating credit, equity, or family-office capital — written for operators, not for the roadshow.

    DeliversA process memo and a written recommendation that survives a board read.

  5. V.
    Operating-model design

    Org shape that matches the strategy.

    Restructures, governance, and decision-rights work for entities whose operating model has drifted from their narrative — typically triggered by a hire, a raise, or a hard quarter.

    DeliversA right-sized operating system, with a clear ladder of who decides what.

  6. VI.
    Partnerships & Channel

    Complementary revenue, not cobranded noise.

    Design and negotiation of channel, alliance, and JV structures — for principals who want counterparties with shared incentives, not a logo on a slide.

    DeliversA partner matrix and shortlist vetted against your operating constraints.

II. Sectors served

Cross-sector by design — never cross-purpose.

The firm deliberately stays cross-sector, so the patterns it carries between fleet, publishing, and family-office work strengthen the brief — not blur it.

Sector 01
Professional services
Legal, consulting, advisory practices
Sector 02
Fleet operations
Leasing, logistics, last-mile
Sector 03

Sector 04

Sector 05

Multi-entity operating structures
III. Leadership

Built around a single principal — on purpose.

Cross-sector operator with two decades of senior leadership across professional services, fleet, and publishing. Built the firm around the conviction that small and mid-sized operators deserve senior-level counsel without the agency overhead.

The firm is deliberately principal-led because clients calling out the boutique signal “we’d rather not be passed to a junior for week 9.” Every engagement is staffed with Phyllis at the rail — not on a proposal page.

IV. Partner network

Distinct from — but kept alongside — its affiliated partners.

The firm’s identity is kept intentionally separate from any affiliated partner brand. The network below lists the anchor partner entities the firm works in concert with — each one an external affiliated organization, not a service line of PDT Global itself.
