Ian Knight
Digital Solutions Expert
Hi! I'm Ian. I'm an independent consultant who uses digital tools and smart processes to help organizations work better.
Formerly at the U.S. Department of State, I've worked with NGOs, universities, and the federal government, streamlining bureaucratic processes to help teams meet their goals within tight budgets and limited resources. In addition to my consultancy work, I am a lecturer for courses on digital governance and public service at Montana State University.
My goal is to ensure your organization spends its time moving its public-serving mission forward, not wrestling with clunky systems or outdated technology.
An American based in Turin, Italy, I have work authorization to support clients based in the United States and the European Union.

Success Stories
*
Moved a survey process that gathered information on 500 participants from email to a single online platform. This reduced staff time by 90%, increased user accessibility, and saved tens of thousands of tax-payer dollars.
*
Used generative AI to analyze the success of an $8 million federal program. The review for this project had been dormant for 10 years. I completed an audit within two months, providing an executive report and recommendations for increased program effectiveness.
*
Streamlined conflicting workflows for a $3 million federal grant into one project management platform. This led to a 30% increase in on-time deliverables and clearer scopes for each team member.
