Hi – i'm Kyle Nitchen.
I help project professionals lead people and predict outcomes.
Over the past decade, I’ve led over $500M+ in complex healthcare and commercial construction projects—delivering on-time, under-budget, and ahead of expectations.
But I didn’t start at the top. I started with a shovel in my hand. From laborer to Project Executive, I climbed fast by mastering systems like Last Planner, Target Value Delivery, and the real secret: Leadership.
Now, I’m on a mission to build a new kind of project manager—one who’s confident under pressure, leads high-performing teams,
and thrives in uncertainty.
If you're ready to become the project manager everyone wants on
their job, you’re in the right place.
