2M LEADERSHIP.
2M as a company is just getting started, but we understand digital transformation and have the personnel, industry partners, and professional skills to showcase the art of the possible. 2M is a woman-owned small business (WOSB) and a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) founded by a professional transportation engineer offering both traditional transportation management and consulting expertise, as well as Silicon Valley tech experience.
As senior professionals advising both public and commercial entities in digital transformation, we don’t believe the hype cycle or worry about the technology chasm. Let’s work together to evaluate and implement technologies that support your desire to change, your pace of change, and your budget.
