About Me

The Implementation Guy — Not Just the Strategy Guy.

I'm Abdifatah Farah — a PMP-certified program implementation consultant with deep experience turning complex government and healthcare programs from paper into practice. I've managed multi-agency coordination, tracked deliverables under compliance-heavy contracts, and kept stakeholders aligned across the hardest cross-sector projects in Oregon and nationally.

My background spans Medicaid managed care operations at Elevance Health, CCO coordination and HRSN program oversight with Oregon Health Authority, housing technical assistance, and compliance-heavy implementation work. I'm also one course from completing my Master of Public Administration — grounding every engagement in the policy and regulatory frameworks that actually drive government decisions.

Most consultants hand you a plan and disappear. I stay in the work — managing timelines, tracking risks, writing reports, coordinating vendors, and making sure the program actually delivers.

Who I Work With

Built for Organizations That Need More Than a Report

I work best with clients who already know the stakes are high and need a partner who can get into the operational details — not just describe them.

Oregon State Agencies

OHA contractors, ODHS partners, and state agency teams running Medicaid operations, HRSN programs, and compliance-heavy projects that require PMP rigor and government context.

County Government

County DHS, health departments, and human services teams managing program rollouts, cross-agency initiatives, and grant-funded projects requiring structured implementation oversight.

Coordinated Care Organizations

CCOs implementing HRSN benefit programs, coordinating across housing and health partners, or managing contractor deliverables that require structured oversight and Medicaid expertise.

Healthcare Organizations & MCOs

Health plans and managed care organizations operating in Oregon's Medicaid market that need a consultant with CCO coordination experience and cross-sector implementation capacity.

Housing Authorities & Nonprofits

Housing agencies and mission-driven nonprofits seeking implementation support for Medicaid-housing programs, federal compliance work, and community program execution.

Federal Primes & National Firms

National consulting firms entering Oregon's market who need a COBID-certified local partner with government relationships, PMP discipline, and on-the-ground implementation experience.

Grant-Funded Programs

Programs funded by federal or state grants that need rigorous tracking, compliance documentation, reporting support, and someone who can keep the project on schedule through complexity.

Equity & Diversity-Focused Contracts

Procurement teams and primes who need a COBID-certified MBE/ESB subcontractor with demonstrated government PM experience to meet supplier diversity requirements.

How I Work

What to Expect When We Work Together

I don't hand off deliverables and disappear. Every engagement follows a structured process built around your actual program needs — not a template.

01

Discovery Call

We talk through your program, your challenges, and what success looks like. No pitch. Just an honest conversation about fit and what the engagement would need to look like.

02

Scoping & Proposal

I send a clear scope of work — deliverables, timeline, pricing — tailored to your situation. No template contracts or padded estimates.

03

Active Engagement

I do the work. Regular check-ins, written updates, risk flags, and clear escalation paths so you're never left wondering what's happening.

04

Closeout & Handoff

Your team has everything they need to sustain the work after I'm done — documentation, tracking tools, lessons learned, and a clean transition.

Ready to Get Your Program on Track?

Let's talk about what you're working on and whether I'm the right fit. No obligation — just a real conversation about your implementation challenge.
