Hannalie Vergotine

Founder

I know this industry from the inside.

I’ve worked in consulting across multiple sectors, most recently in computational fluid dynamics. I know what the work actually looks like once you’re in it, what’s expected of you before anyone’s told you what’s expected, and what it costs when you have to figure it out the hard way.

I figured a lot of it out the hard way.

When my CFD role ended, I got honest.

About what I was good at, what I actually wanted to do with it, and where I could have the most impact. The answer kept coming back to the same thing — engineers just starting out, standing where I stood a few years ago, capable and qualified and completely in the dark about what comes next.

Nobody taught us that part. You just land in industry and hope you pick it up fast enough.

I’m building Opus Valorem so that’s not your experience.

Not because I have it all figured out — I’m a wife and a new mom running a business in the margins of a very full life. But because I have been where you are, I know what you actually need, and I’d rather spend my energy giving you that than anything else.

If you want help from someone who understands the technical world you’ve just walked into — you’re in the right place.

Where do you want to start?
