Case Study

In Q3 2022, a mid-market consumer goods company came to Isabelle with a problem that had cost them $4.2M in missed SLAs: their Southeast Asian tier-2 supplier network had zero visibility. Within 90 days, she had restructured three vendor relationships, introduced a real-time tracking protocol, and reduced logistics variance from 31% to 8%.

Restructured $80M supplier network in 90 days

"She doesn't consult from a slide deck. She sits in your war room until the problem is solved."

Case Study

When a Fortune 500 insurance company needed to deploy an AI underwriting model without triggering regulatory scrutiny, they called Amara. She built the governance framework, trained the audit committee, and co-authored the model card that became the template for their entire AI product division.

From those who hired through Dossier

We'd spent six weeks on LinkedIn Recruiter and three weeks on a search firm retainer before someone forwarded us a Dossier profile. We made first contact on a Tuesday. She was on a flight to our Chicago office by Thursday. The engagement closed in under two weeks.
