Every number on this site comes from a P&L we ran.

Eight years inside Perkuto / Merge World — a services business that scaled from a 15-person agency into part of a $75M division. Richard ran program management for the $15M Adobe practice. Kate built and ran the PMO inside it. Nova Path Group is that operating knowledge, packaged.

The record

We didn't start a consultancy. We grew into one.

For most of the last decade we ran the operations side of a real services business — the resourcing calls, the dashboards, the quarter-end explanations. Not adjacent to the work. In it.

Record of service — Perkuto / Merge World 8 yrs · PM → Sr. Director

001 Joined a 15-person martech agency the delivery floor, not the strategy deck Perkuto

002 Practice scales into a $75M division Richard: PM → Senior Director, Program Management $15M Adobe practice

003 PMO built from the ground up Kate: Director of PMO — playbooks, governance, the team that made them stick zero → org

004 Reporting platform: ten systems into one a single source of operational truth leadership actually used 10 → 1

005 Billable hours, year over year on the $15M practice +20% · ~$2.0M

006 Utilization, in one year three points — gained, then held +3 pts · ~$600K

007 Mid-2025 — left to build Nova Path full-time same problems, different surface area one firm at a time

The leaks we spent eight years closing internally show up in every services firm we walk into. That's the bet.

The team

Two operators. One playbook.

You're not hiring a "consulting firm." You're hiring the two people who built and ran the operations infrastructure of a real services business — and kept the receipts.

Kate Breed

Co-founder · Principal

Former Director of PMO at Perkuto / Merge World. Built and ran the project management organization that delivered across the practice — playbooks, governance, delivery standards, and the team that made them stick. Saw firsthand where engagements derail when nobody owns the answer.

PMO built & led from zero

Services delivery 15+ years

Convictions

Three things eight years taught us.

Utilization is a leadership problem, not a people problem.

Below 75%, the answer is never "work harder." It's broken resourcing, bad scoping, or bench time nobody can see. We find which one — without burning the team to fix it.

Operating systems beat heroics.

Most services firms run on a few senior people holding it together by will. That doesn't scale, and it eventually burns them out. Install the system; retire the heroics.

Margin compounds when systems do.

One resourcing model. One dashboard people trust. One weekly cadence. Not one-time wins — the conditions where every quarter beats the last.
