We're The Working Capitalists . We are two independent consultants who focus on working capital, procurement and supply chain. Lane is based in Arizona and Brian is based in Portugal. Both have worked all over the world and in many different industries in the past 3 decades. As a result we have many experiences and opinions that are relevant to business leaders around the globe – and we don’t always agree. That’s because we are passionate about what we do. Let’s make working capital work!
