Chen Strategic Consulting helps mid-sized tech and nonprofit organizations cut through operational complexity and build leadership that actually leads.
Founded by Lila Chen in Austin, Texas — because smart companies deserve a partner who delivers more than advice.
We audit your workflows, remove friction, and redesign your processes so your team can move faster without burning out. Real change happens at the systems level, not the surface level.
Starting at $3,500From emerging managers to C-suite leaders, we build the skills and mindsets that drive performance. Coaching and workshops tailored to your organization's real challenges — not generic frameworks.
Starting at $4,200Whether you're scaling a nonprofit impact program or launching a new product line, Lila works with your leadership team to build a growth plan grounded in data and realistic execution.
Starting at $5,000Lila Chen founded Chen Strategic Consulting in Austin, Texas, with a single conviction: that mid-sized organizations are often just a few strategic decisions away from transformative results. After years working inside both high-growth tech companies and mission-driven nonprofits, she saw the same pattern — brilliant teams held back by unclear processes, underdeveloped leaders, and strategy documents that never made it off the whiteboard.
Chen Strategic Consulting was built to close that gap. Lila's approach is direct, collaborative, and always grounded in what will actually work for your organization — not what sounds impressive in a boardroom. Clients in Austin and across Texas have come to rely on her for honest assessments, practical roadmaps, and the follow-through to see change stick.
The firm serves primarily tech companies navigating rapid scale and nonprofits managing growing program complexity. These are organizations with high stakes, real missions, and teams that deserve more than a one-size-fits-all consultant. Lila brings deep sector fluency to every engagement — meaning less time explaining context and more time solving problems.
Approachable, rigorous, and committed to lasting impact — those are the values that define every client relationship at Chen Strategic Consulting. If you're ready to move from stuck to unstoppable, Lila is ready to get to work.

"Lila came in and within two weeks had identified three operational bottlenecks we'd been living with for years. Her process redesign sprint cut our team's weekly reporting time by nearly 40%. She doesn't just diagnose the problem — she rolls up her sleeves and fixes it. Genuinely transformative for our team."
"We hired Lila to facilitate our annual strategy sprint after a year of scattered priorities and team misalignment. The plan she helped us build was the clearest, most actionable document our leadership team had ever worked from. Six months in, we hit 90% of our OKRs — something we'd never come close to before."
"The leadership coaching I received from Lila over six months genuinely changed how I show up as a manager. She asked the questions I'd been avoiding and helped me build a real feedback culture on my team. Our retention improved and our last engagement survey scores jumped 22 points. I can't recommend her highly enough."
