Experienced Advisors, Real Results
With over 20 years of collective experience, we bring expertise and perspective to our clients, and to our partners who trust us to help deliver exceptional results.
While working at a leading consulting firm, Lana and Anthony saw a growing need for more accessible boutique partners who could deliver big-firm expertise and quality with greater focus, adaptability, and partnership.
MM Strategy Group was founded to meet that need: a boutique firm built to solve complex organizational challenges without unnecessary layers — bringing senior-level attention and practical, high-impact solutions to every engagement.
As a City of Chicago–certified Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE), we are proud to partner with clients and prime contractors seeking exceptional outcomes while advancing supplier diversity goals. We bring a distinct perspective to our work — combining rigor, agility, and a deep commitment to the clients we serve.
