PHJ Management Inc. is a consulting firm and also the family office of our founder, Pete Hidalgo.
Our President and Founder has a unique blend of talent, experience, education, communication skills, and emotional intelligence (EQ) that enables him to easily partner with his clients and achieve great results.
He is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point with a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering and also a graduate of Columbia Business School with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.
After serving in the U.S. Army as a Captain in the Air Defense Artillery, our founder embarked on his civilian career which included being a financial analyst for a regional bank, and a program manager for a defense contractor. He started his 15 year career in telecommunications and IT working for Verizon, Sprint, Tyco, and Ernst & Young where he was engineering, building, and managing wireline, wireless, and undersea networks and data centers in the United States, Europe, South America, and the Asia-Pacific regions.
The next phase of his career led him into consulting where he spent over 10 years with Deloitte and Ernst & Young (EY) providing IT Advisory services to the C-level management teams of numerous Fortune 50 and 500 companies partnering with them to improve their organizations, processes, infrastructure, and financial management.
Most recently he returned to industry as the Chief Operating Officer of a private equity (PE) backed telecommunications company.
He played a key role in setting and executing the growth strategy for that company, working to position the company to be able to effectively scale while maintaining high standards for service quality and customer service.
He was responsible for over 175 employees spanning IT, Technical Support, Operations, Field Services, Facilities, and Call Centers.
He also managed the design and construction of a new 15,000 square foot Operations Center while at the same time creating a production line to build and launch a proprietary video and information platform. Over 1,000 of these units were successfully built and deployed to the field in one year.
He also launched an infrastructure improvement program to improve system resiliency and eliminate single points of failure, which paid immediate dividends.
He has certifications in Project Management (PMP), ISO, ITIL, and IVI, as well as being an experienced practitioner of Kaizen and Six Sigma.
Additionally, our founder has built a strong network of both friends and professionals across many industries who will partner with him to support our clients.
He co-founded PCS Pools, LLC in 2020 and grew that business from $1M to $10M in revenue over the last four years. PCS Pools is luxury pool builder in the Tampa Bay area, and has established itself as one of the top builders in the area. Pete serves as the Chief Revenue Officer with responsibility for all sales and marketing functions.
In addition, Pete serves as the Global Advisory Services Leader for MagicOrange, which is a SaaS Financial Management services company.
