We are happy to put you in contact with any of the Clients below to get direct feedback on their experience of VPS.

“VPS has done an outstanding job of understanding our current strategies and capabilities, and pushed us to see new opportunities for our organization.  They have also provided unfiltered feedback in areas we need to strengthen or change based on their view of where the industry will be in the future. Their wide industry lens has helped us develop new strategies to play offense in the future.  VPS is helping us build our future.” 

"Brian brings a rare combination of strategic clarity and executional discipline that has meaningfully shaped our growth trajectory. What sets him apart is his ability to cut through complexity quickly, transforming ambiguous commercial challenges into focused, high-impact action. Our engagement with him through Viking has sharpened both our go-to-market strategy and leadership alignment. I'd recommend him without hesitation to any organization serious about accelerating performance with rigor and precision."  

“Viking was an advisor and mentor to me in two roles, helping with org design to meet capacity planning ramps. Their depth of experience and understanding of effective project integration of labor, materials, and equipment in this constrained environment was invaluable to our organization. Their independent and direct feedback was critical to reshaping our org to meet that escalating demand.”

“We have worked with Brian for 20 years. Brian is highly knowledgeable, transparent, whilst challenging all at the same time. His fairness has led to a superb mutual respect across our businesses.” 

“Viking has provided exceptional expertise and steady guidance throughout our data center development project. Their attention to detail and ability to navigate complex predevelopment challenges has added significant value and helped us set a strong foundation for a successful delivery.”  

"As our business expanded services to our Clients, Brian’s depth of construction expertise has been instrumental in accelerating the development of our program. His willingness to serve as a voice of reason, while constructively challenging conventional thinking, has pushed the team to confront complex and often uncomfortable issues. This approach has ultimately strengthened our strategy and driven meaningful programmatic growth.”  

"Viking’s strength is translating deep supply‑chain, semiconductor, OEM knowledge, and personal experience delivering scaled projects into pragmatic guidance and leadership for data center operators and boards. That perspective is highly relevant given the complexity and pace of today’s data center expansion cycle.” 

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Brian as a member of our advisory board, and I can say without a doubt that he is one of the most valuable people we’ve brought into our orbit. Brian is the rare advisor who doesn’t just lend his name and show up for the occasional check-in. He embeds himself. He treats our wins and our problems as his own, and he’s invested in our success with a conviction that goes well beyond his formal role. In practice, he operates as an extension of our team.

What sets Brian apart is his honesty. He tells you what you need to hear. He’s a straight shooter. No fluff, no posturing, no diplomatic bullshit around hard truths. When something in our strategy doesn’t add up, he calls it. When we’re about to make a mistake, he calls it out. And when we’re on the right track, he tells us that too, with the same directness. That kind of candor is genuinely hard to find.

Beyond his judgment, Brian is an awesome human being. He’s generous with his time, his network, and his thinking. He shows up when it matters, and he cares about the people on our team, not just the metrics on our dashboard. That builds trust, and that's what makes his hard feedback land so well, because you know it’s coming from someone who genuinely wants you to win.”
