Driving Client Success
Our Story
Get to Know Us
We work with organizations that can't afford to stop — businesses, nonprofits, municipalities, and community networks navigating disruption, growth, and the gaps in between. Based in Spokane, Washington. Serving clients nationally.
Built by operators,
powered by data.
Steph brings field-tested emergency management and operational rebuilding — deployments and planning leadership across national disasters, and a decade reconstructing the financial and operational systems organizations depend on to survive disruption.
Michael brings the technical infrastructure — cloud architecture, data intelligence, and the systems that keep information flowing when it matters most.
Together, Chicane Strategies bridges the gap most organizations never close: the one between having a plan and having the tools to execute it.
