Our Team | The People Behind IPMS

Expertise That Walks Beside Nations

Every project matters. Housing builds, water treatment upgrades, health facilities, clean energy transitions, land stewardship — each carries the weight of community wellbeing and sovereignty.

The team at Indigenous Project Management Solutions (IPMS) brings together certified project managers (PMP®), trainers, and advisors with deep experience in Indigenous governance, policy, and community development.

Our strength lies in blending international project management standards with Indigenous knowledge and values.
