I Turn Operational Chaos
Into Executable Strategy.
PMO and operational transformation for mid-market organizations, where strategy becomes how the business actually runs, not a deck that sits on a shelf.
Michelle McKinney, CEO & Founder
Michelle McKinney founded TransformXperience with a vision to help mid-market companies achieve enterprise-level project management capabilities without enterprise-level costs. With over 44 years of IT transformation experience, Michelle specializes in helping healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, and construction organizations modernize their PMOs using Microsoft’s intelligent ecosystem.
Prior to founding TransformXperience, Michelle served as a senior IT project leader for Fortune 500 companies and public sector clients, leading complex technology initiatives including ERP implementations, business intelligence deployments, and enterprise-wide digital transformations. Her expertise spans project rescue and stabilization, PMO setup and optimization, and sustainable operational excellence.
While leading enterprise transformations, Michelle was simultaneously building a general contracting business from the ground up. For 20 years, she managed both worlds — residential and commercial construction alongside Fortune 500 consulting. She handled bids, schedules, subcontractors, permits, inspections, and investor deadlines, growing the business from $0 to over $650,000 in revenue in three years. That experience taught her what boardrooms never could: when the schedule slips, real money walks away. When the inspection fails, crews sit idle. When the permit stalls, everything stops. She brings that urgency to every PMO transformation.
Key Achievements:
- Transformed enterprise performance by leading high-impact initiatives across enabling technologies, ERP rollouts, artificial intelligence, PMO development, and big data—driving innovation, operational excellence, and measurable business outcomes.
- Directed full-cycle ERP and Imaging System implementations for major healthcare providers, enhancing clinical workflows, data integrity, and system interoperability.
- Delivered mission-critical digital solutions for the State of California, including a comprehensive Sales & Reporting platform and an Oracle WebCenter implementation—streamlining operations and improving public sector service delivery.
- Built and scaled a general contracting business managing residential and commercial projects, multiple subcontractor teams, regulatory compliance, and investor timelines — growing revenue from $0 to $650K+ in three years.
Mid-market public sector IT PMO. Built from the ground up, the governance model still runs today.
