Who We Are
Point of Alliance is a strategic operating partner for leaders running complex initiatives.

We help organizations and executives create the space to lead - turning strategy into structure, and structure into momentum.

Our work often begins where clarity and momentum fade: in the messy middle of programs, portfolios, and transformation agendas. We love a challenge, and bring a rare combination of system-level thinking, design intelligence, and operational precision to our consistently successful solutions.

The result is clarity that endures - programs that run cleanly, people who stay aligned, and leaders who finally have time to lead again.
Our Founder
Expert Program Director · Strategist · Systems Thinker
Kerry Ann Mason is an international program director and strategist with 20 years of experience leading complex capital and transformation programs across 15+ countries. Her career bridges architecture, program management, and executive strategy - a combination that blends creative vision with operational discipline.
Before founding Point of Alliance, Kerry served as Program Director at Hill International, where she led major initiatives for clients including Nike, Katara Hospitality, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, and the Bank for International Settlements. Her prior experience included government and development projects across the US and in Ethiopia as a Program Manager with Tetra Tech. Her work has spanned sectors - from real estate and infrastructure to innovation and organizational transformation - uniting diverse teams around clear structure and shared purpose.
Kerry designs the calm within complexity — systems that make space for leaders to think, teams to move, and organizations to deliver with consistency and grace.

Our Philosophy
Great work shouldn’t require constant grind.

We believe high-stakes delivery can be clear, sustainable, and energizing - when structure supports strategy, and ownership is shared.
Clarity, rhythm, and human connection make speed possible without burnout.
Our philosophy is grounded in a few principles that shape how we build, lead, and deliver together:
Clarity over complexity.
Simplicity drives action. Complexity hides progress.
Progress over perfection.
Forward motion beats flawless plans - always.
Connection over control.
Teams move faster when trust replaces supervision.
Partnership over presence.
We embed lightly and leave capability behind.
Calm is a competitive advantage.
Structure creates space - space fuels leadership.
Transformation succeeds when systems are lean, people are empowered, and outcomes are measurable. That’s the foundation of how we work.
Our Three Pillars of Success
Structure enables connectivity, creativity and completion.
Transformation doesn’t happen through more process - it happens through rhythm.
At Point of Alliance, that rhythm rests on three pillars: lean systems, empowered teams, and breakthrough results.
1. Lean Systems
Right-sized, intuitive operating models that reduce noise and increase visibility.
We design systems people actually use - simple, transparent, and adaptable.
When structure is lean, it strengthens communication instead of slowing it.
2. Empowered Teams
Clarity, ownership, and a bias for action - so people move with less friction.
We coach, align, and codify knowledge so teams scale and problem-solve without constant reinvention or intervention.
When teams are empowered, accountability becomes natural.
3. Breakthrough Results
Visible progress, stronger accountability, and momentum that lasts beyond us.
Faster delivery. Fewer escalations. Measurable improvement sustained over time.
When results are breakthrough, clarity turns into confidence.
How We Work Together
Every engagement is designed to empower, not entangle.
We work with clients who are ready to move - to build systems that sustain pace, people, and progress. We meet you where you are, align quickly, and leave behind structures that scale.
Our footprint stays light; our impact runs deep.
What remains is clarity, momentum, and restored confidence.
