About

Every engagement is meticulously crafted to our client's unique context, challenges, and objectives. Whether an ambitious startup, a large corporation, or something in between, Lantara integrates smoothly into its clients' operations for the duration of the project, becoming an extension of the team – working side-by-side, not just in parallel.

Lantara Consulting Services
Lantara’s engagement is defined by clear objectives, efficient execution, and measurable results, providing the dedicated bandwidth, structured approach, and specialized expertise to move complex projects from concept to execution.
Lantara projects rarely will live within a single department. They will include many parts of the client’s organization, requiring a delicate balance of technical understanding, people leadership and sophisticated communication skills. They will involve multiple interdependencies, diverse stakeholder groups, and a degree of uncertainty.

Meet our Founder
Lantara Consulting was born out of founder Monica D. Tarasco’s two decades of experience working for a mid-size law firm, a boutique law firm, the corporate office of a public company (mining industry), and an operating company of a public holding company (building products industry). Over her career, Monica has worked on a wide range of projects in different capacities and, as she gained technical expertise, she honed skills as an effective communicator and relationship manager, uniquely situating her to orchestrate complex projects. Monica has an appreciation for the human factors in large-scale projects, and is particularly adept at handling those matters that fall outside of the excel spreadsheets and legal documents. Monica’s objective is to efficiently and effectively manage projects to successful completion, reducing the risks and avoiding the costs of unnecessary project delays.
