Christy Schumacher
Christy Schumacher brings 17 years of enterprise transformation and consulting experience across healthcare, higher education, and nonprofit sectors. Her work has delivered measurable results including $2M in annual cost savings, 92% adoption rates for new systems, and organizational readiness frameworks now used by leaders navigating their critical first year.
When you're six months into a transformation mandate and hitting resistance you didn't expect, Christy is the advisor who can explain why it's happening and what to do about it. Her approach is evidence-based: gathering data from multiple sources, verifying patterns across stakeholders, and delivering findings that boards and executives trust because they're grounded in observable fact — not consultant opinion.
The MTWM methodology grew from pattern recognition across dozens of leadership transitions. Schumacher Consultancy exists to change the pattern.
