Client Experiences

“Maurice Shaw is an exceptional thought leader. His ability to listen to his clients and help develop a strategy is unprecedented. He has been instrumental in helping us clarify our service offerings and messaging to help meet client demand. He also assisted our company in developing financial projections and key risk metrics for our organization. I refer to him as the “Swiss Army Knife.”

CEO Digital Workforce Academy

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Shaw at an Independent Energy Merchant in Houston.  Over the course of the 3 year engagement, Mr. Shaw was an indispensable Team Leader to both the Client and Consulting Team.  He provided a wealth of industry experience and applied world class practices to the middle and back office, making improvements to various credit and risk, accounting and P&L functions. Through his knowledge, deliverables, work ethic, and demeanor, Mr. Shaw became an embedded resource within the organization and was a highly regarded SME.
