Cordatus engineers the operating model behind mid-market growth
Leadership teams bring Cordatus in when growth, a transaction, or a change at the top has outpaced the way the business runs. The work opens with a factual read on the operating model and carries through redesign, automation, and delivery.
● Our Mission & Vision
We give mid-market leadership teams a defensible read on their operating model and the systems, technology, and talent to optimize it. Every engagement provides measurable operational improvements, from strategy through execution.
● Built Across Disciplines
One firm across the operating model
Since 2018, Cordatus has provided strategic operations support to mid-market and PE-backed companies seeking to maximize their business process efficiency. Experienced consultants across industries, departments, and tech stacks help build the kind of efficient, accurate, and repeatable operating models that modern businesses require. With capabilities across the operating model, engagements with Cordatus can be scoped in a variety of ways. Some require only a diagnosis to hand leadership a costed set of priorities. Others bring in a team of experienced engineers to implement practical business process automation solutions. In some cases, engagements incorporate a dedicated professional services team to execute workflows at scale.
The through line is accountability. The people who assess the operating model carry the result, which is what keeps a roadmap executable.

Where the capability work meets a discipline
● Meet the Principals
The people accountable for the work
Engagements are led personally by Cordatus leadership. The person who runs the assessment is the person in the room from the first conversation, with senior practitioners in business process and technology brought in as the scope requires.
An automation engineer turned operator who has spent his career on the hard problems – turnarounds, M&A, and the situations where there is no playbook. Gary moved from engineering into business operations, leading companies through transactions and high-stakes recoveries across manufacturing, back-office operations, finance, and technology.
He kept finding the same root cause: the wrong work was being done by the wrong people at the wrong cost. That thesis led him to found Cordatus Resource Group, where he partners with mid-market and PE-backed companies to redesign how work gets done – automation paired with human-in-the-loop oversight at the steps that require judgment, verification, and accountability.
A finance leader and entrepreneur with deep expertise in building professional services teams across disciplines. Afraz started in brokerage, acquiring and turning around a global trading desk and implementing distributed finance teams to optimize operational efficiency.
He continued to refine the model from there, partnering with firms across other sectors to optimize back-office operations and optimize fulfillment costs. That experience brought him to co-found Cordatus Resource Group, where he supports mid-market and enterprise clients with the professional talent at the scale and sophistication required to achieve transformational results.
● Around the Clock
Coverage that follows the workday
Cordatus is headquartered in Maryland and operates through strategic service centers around the world. Global business operations never stop; neither does Cordatus. Whether engagements require consultants on site, or distributed teams operating 24/7, Cordatus has the capacity to deliver.
● The Operating Standards
The standards the work is held to
Every Cordatus engagement moves through the same stages. That is what makes the work consulting-led, and what makes the result measurable against a baseline the leadership team set at the start.
Client Partnership
Leadership gets one point of accountability for the engagement. The people who scope the work manage it through delivery, so nothing is handed to a junior bench after the pitch.
Process Rigor
Cordatus documents every process it touches, measures it against the baseline set at kickoff, and reviews it on a cadence. Reporting runs against that baseline for the life of the engagement.
Radical Transparency
Findings go to leadership as they are, including the ones that make the engagement smaller. Reporting shows the work completed, what it produced, and where things stand.
People-First Operations
Cordatus staff receive competitive salaries, benefits, and funded training and certification paths to continuously advance their skills and expertise. Only through its people can Cordatus deliver real results for its clients.
● The Audited Environment
Certified, audited, and documented
The environment client work runs inside.
ISO 27001 Certified

ISO 9001 Certified
Quality management, covering process documentation and the improvement cycle Cordatus applies to every engagement.
Standards Cordatus builds against
Clients arrive carrying their own compliance obligations. Where a client is subject to HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, or other compliance frameworks, workflows are designed to operate inside those requirements and documentation is produced to match.
● Open Roles
Join the Cordatus team
Cordatus hires professionals across a wide range of disciplines and experience levels. From seasoned consultants and subject matter experts to early career professional services staff. Roles carry market-competitive pay, benefits, and funded training and certification, with flexible and remote options across the operating centers.
