KDPM Consulting

What KDPM Consulting does

KDPM Consulting, Inc. is a privately held, minority woman-owned project management consulting firm headquartered in San Diego, California. Founded in 2016 by Kimberly DeMartino as a sole proprietorship and reincorporated as a corporation in 2020, the firm delivers a full lifecycle of project management consulting services — program/project management, administrative management, financial management/EVM, strategic planning, spend planning, scheduling, budgeting, cost estimating, change management, process development, engineering support, IT support, site surveys, logistics planning, and audit readiness/compliance support — to government, military/defense, information technology, and private sector clients primarily across Southern California (San Diego, Irvine, Los Angeles).

The firm does not sell a software product or proprietary technology platform; its core offering is human-delivered professional services. Its go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, relying on direct outreach, phone and email inquiries, a LinkedIn presence anchored on the founder, and a downloadable capabilities statement. Revenue is generated on an engagement basis under what appear to be government and commercial consulting contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

KDPM's market positioning rests on three reinforcing elements: the founder's PMP certification and 15+ years of technical project management experience (including hands-on network engineering provisioning); a dense stack of small/diversity business certifications at the federal, state, and municipal level that grant preferential access to set-aside contracts; and a focused regional footprint. The firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
