William J. Donoher, President & CEO

William J. (Bill) Donoher holds a Ph.D. in Strategic Management from the University of Missouri–Columbia and a J.D. from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis.

Our Focus

Analytica Management Consulting provides thoughtful, practical guidance to organizations navigating strategic, operational, and financial complexity. Our work focuses on helping leaders clarify priorities, improve performance, manage risk, and pursue sustainable growth—without unnecessary overhead or prefabricated solutions.

We do not sell standardized service packages or deploy high-cost teams in search of problems. Engagements are shaped by client priorities, grounded in experience and analysis, and designed to address real decisions facing the organization. Our role is to serve as an independent, trusted resource—bringing structure, perspective, and discipline to complex challenges.

The goal is to support clear, defensible technology decisions that align with organizational needs and capabilities.
