    Manav Mittal
    Senior Project Manager, Consumers Energy

    Hi, I’m Manav Mittal—a PMP and CSM-certified project management dynamo with a knack for turning chaos into harmony and ideas into action. Based in Troy, MI, I’ve spent over 11 years leading multi-million-dollar projects to victory with a unique blend of strategy, precision, and collaboration.

    At ACM Project Management Consultants, I’m the go-to guy for tackling complex challenges. As a Senior Project Manager, I’ve led cross-functional teams in construction, IT, strategy, and automation, achieving measurable wins like boosting schedule performance (SPI 1.04) and raising team engagement scores beyond company norms. Before that, as a Senior Project Controls Specialist, I helped save $91M on projects totaling $481M through savvy vendor negotiations and risk mitigation.

    But my story doesn’t stop there. As a Business Analyst back in India, I mastered the art of bridging gaps between business and technology in fast-paced agile environments—skills that still define my leadership style today.

    I’ve backed my experience with top-tier education: an MBA in Operations & Strategy (University of Michigan), an MS in Project Management (Purdue University), and a BTech in Civil Engineering (VIT). And when it comes to tools, I’m a pro with MS Project, Primavera P6, Power BI, Tableau, and all the collaboration platforms modern teams rely on.

    I’m not just about managing projects; I’m about inspiring people, solving problems, and delivering results that make an impact. Let’s connect if you’re looking for a results-driven leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution.
