Our Story

LVP Consulting was born from a critical realization. After observing the consulting sector for years, Wes LVP identified a major client service gap. Traditional firms offered strategic plans and limited vendor introductions, then abandoned clients during crucial implementation phases. This unmet need became LVP's mission—providing end-to-end support for companies unprepared to execute large-scale operational transformations alone.

Wes aimed to transcend traditional supply chain advice by embedding actionable processes, skill development, and innovative tools into every project. He envisioned this methodology would equip clients with measurable outcomes, operational independence, and enduring competitive advantage. Launching LVP & Associates in 1990 to test this philosophy, Wes ultimately validated it through billions in client savings and 30+ years of proven results—transforming his initial insight into LVP's enduring competitive edge.

Vision scaled to impact

As LVP's expertise grew, we refined our approach—expanding from core Supply Chain & Procurement services to address global clients' evolving needs. Our Sales & Marketing practice emerged when a client sought RFP bidding improvements. We adapted our competitive sourcing methodologies to create new capabilities in consultative sales and marketing analytics—proving our model's versatility through another client success story.

We've replicated this proven approach across Transportation & Logistics, Manufacturing Efficiency, and Private Equity sectors, consistently delivering 2-10x ROI for clients.
