I’m Justin Fischgrund, founder of Fischgrund Consulting. Kid from New York, went to school in Miami, worked in DC, and somehow ended up calling Pittsburgh home. Growing up, I was always obsessed with how systems worked and making processes more efficient.
I’m an engineer by training and a problem solver by nature. Over 15 years I’ve worked with some of the largest organizations across the industry, leading teams, managing eight-figure technology budgets, and delivering over $100 million in operational and revenue impact. I hold a patent, and teach engineering students at the University of Pittsburgh, and built a track record of fixing problems that other people couldn’t find.
Across every industry, I kept seeing the same pattern. Good companies, smart people, real budgets, and technology investments that didn’t deliver the return everyone expected. Not because the tools were wrong, but because nobody fixed the foundation first.
That’s why I started Fischgrund Consulting.
We work with companies who know something is slowing their business down but can’t quite put their finger on what. We find it, fix it, and make sure it sticks. Better processes, smarter use of technology, and solutions that your team actually adopts and uses.
Most inefficiency is invisible until it becomes a crisis. By the time you feel it, you’ve been paying for it for a long time. We make sure you catch it before that happens.
Our Mission
We help companies fix the operational problems that keep coming back, the ones that cost real time and money, and make sure the fix actually holds.
Most of those problems don’t stay broken because of one bad system or one bad process. They stay broken because nobody looks at where the technology, the process, and the people running it actually meet. We do.
We work with leaders who are serious about results, not just reports. Our job is to find the real problem, fix it across all three of those layers at once, and make sure your team comes out the other side actually using what we built, not just living with it.
Our Philosophy
We believe technology should make your business better, not more complicated. AI, automation, and digital tools are only as valuable as the processes underneath them. Get the foundation right and technology becomes a multiplier. Skip that step and it becomes another expensive disappointment.
We ask hard questions. We challenge assumptions. We tell you what we actually think, not what’s comfortable to hear. And we don’t consider a project successful until the solution is working in the real world, not just in a presentation.
Simple processes. Honest advice. Results you can measure.
