## Nicholas Hoefs, President and Co-Founder

Nicholas Hoefs is President and Co-Founder of Bluestem Project Solutions. He leads a team of experienced, PMP-trained project managers who protect the owner's scope, schedule and budget.

## Why Bluestem exists

Bluestem steps in where projects typically break down between design, vendors, installation and operations. We bring clarity, control and momentum from day one.

### We protect the owner's interests
- Bluestem is 100% vendor-neutral. Every decision we support is based on what is best for your project, not on someone else's margin.

### We speak the language of automation
- Our project managers know conveyor systems, controls coordination and MHE installations, so they find risks before they become problems.

### We simplify complex projects
- Bluestem is a single point of coordination, so there is less confusion, less duplicated effort and fewer costly handoff errors.

We know where projects fail and how to prevent those failures.

## The diamond is a milestone

The green diamond in the Bluestem logo is the milestone marker you see on a Gantt chart. A milestone is a date the whole project agrees on. Our work is getting every vendor to the same milestones.
