Who We Are

About LG Strategic Consulting

We help growing organizations turn operational noise into clear priorities, real ownership, and accountable execution.

Growth creates complexity faster than most organizations can build the systems to hold it. Priorities compete, ownership blurs, and leaders end up in the middle of decisions that should never reach them. LG Strategic Consulting is a founder-led operations and transformation firm built to fix that — and to stay until the fix holds.

Meet Lara Garguilo

FOUNDER · OPERATIONALLY FOCUSED

Lara founded LG Strategic Consulting after more than two decades leading operations, transformation, governance, and cross-functional execution for complex organizations.

Her career began in fashion and moved through market research, retail, and executive operations leadership at PVH and Circana.

That path shaped how she reads a business: as interconnected systems, where clarity, alignment, and execution decide whether growth becomes sustainable or chaotic.

WHY IT WORKS

Clear Priorities, Real Ownership, and Execution That Outlasts the Deck

We start with priorities, ownership, expectations, and success measures — before touching a single process. Clarity gives a team shared direction. Structure makes it durable. The goal is not more process. The goal is a better way to operate.

A Background Built in Complex Organizations

Fashion & Retail

Where it started: brand, product, and the commercial realities behind both.

Market Research

Consumer insight and analytics work with PVH, Circana, and global brands.

Global Operations

Business process outsourcing and vendor strategy across Europe, Asia Pacific, and the U.S.

Transformation & Governance

Leading cross-functional change for organizations growing faster than their systems.

Values

CLARITY

Most accountability problems are clarity problems. When ownership and expectations are unclear, even strong teams slow down.

PARTNERSHIP

We work alongside your team, not above it—close, invested, and involved through implementation.

EXECUTION

Recommendations aren’t results. The work matters only if your team can use it after we step back.

Frequently Asked Questions

COOs, business owners, and senior leaders in growth-stage organizations responsible for operational performance or scaling a team through complexity. Often service and marketing-adjacent businesses: market research, marketing, advertising, retail, and brand.

You work with Lara directly, start to finish. No team handoff, no deck delivered at the door. The engagement is scoped to your business rather than run from a standard playbook.

No. The common thread is a stage, not a sector: growth has created complexity, and the current ways of working can’t hold it.

Most start with a conversation, then a clarity assessment, then implementation alongside your team.

LG Strategic Consulting is based in Columbus, Ohio, and works with clients nationally. Engagements run remotely, with on-site time when the work calls for it.
