History
Founded in 2009, Atlantic Wave LLC is a boutique management consulting firm providing Independent Project Assurance for global energy and infrastructure programs.

Our expertise spans the energy transition—including hydrogen, carbon capture, renewables, utilities, and large-scale infrastructure.
What We Believe
Assurance is leadership in action.
It connects strategy to execution, giving organizations the confidence to make timely, high-impact decisions.
-
Assurance creates value.
Risks identified early cost less to mitigate and build trust with boards, regulators, and investors. -
Execution reflects leadership.
Field performance improves when governance, accountability, and vision are clearly cascaded from the executive level to the workface. -
Quality is measurable.
Readiness, reliability, and O&M metrics must be visible, actionable, and tied directly to business outcomes.
At Atlantic Wave, we believe assurance is not a checklist — it’s a discipline that links intent to performance across every stage of a project’s life cycle.
Our Philosophy
We simplify complex projects by aligning leadership, governance, and execution around a single question:
“What must be true for this project to deliver reliably and predictably?”
Every engagement is guided by three principles:
-
Clarity: Define outcomes early and measure progress objectively.
-
Confidence: Make informed decisions grounded in transparent readiness data.
-
Capability: Build internal systems and teams that sustain performance long after project completion.
This disciplined approach, refined through decades of global experience, allows us to turn uncertainty into structured confidence — ensuring that every project we touch delivers safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
