Lantara Consulting Services
Strategic Transaction Management
Our core mission is to optimize deal value and mitigate execution risk.
Lantara is a specialized consultancy providing strategic and tactical guidance throughout the entire transaction lifecycle — from pre-acquisition strategy and planning through post-acquisition integration.
Lantara’s engagement is defined by clear objectives, efficient execution, and measurable results, providing the dedicated bandwidth and specialized expertise to lead, coordinate, and manage complex projects.
Lantara projects rarely live within a single department. They will include many parts of the client’s organization, requiring a delicate balance of technical understanding, people leadership and sophisticated communication skills. They will involve multiple interdependencies, diverse stakeholder groups, and a degree of uncertainty.

Meet our Founder
Lantara Consulting was born out of founder Monica D. Tarasco’s two decades of experience working for a mid-size law firm, a boutique law firm, the corporate office of a public company (mining industry), and an operating company of a public holding company (building products industry). Over her career, Monica has worked on a wide range of projects in different capacities and, as she gained technical expertise, she honed skills as an effective communicator and relationship manager, uniquely situating her to orchestrate complex projects. Monica has an appreciation for the human factors in large-scale projects, and is particularly adept at handling those matters that fall outside of the excel spreadsheets and legal documents. Monica’s objective is to efficiently and effectively manage projects to successful completion, reducing the risks and avoiding the costs of unnecessary project delays.
