Meet Kirsten McGregor

Kirsten specializes in the critical intersection of economic resilience, crisis & recovery management, sustainability, and real estate development—bridging public and private sectors.
“I've spent 25 years inside federal agencies and disaster recovery watching organizations fail when conditions change—funding shifts, leadership turns over, plans become obsolete.
The problem is almost always the same:
they built for stability, not resilience.
I help organizations find those vulnerabilities before disruption hits—and build systems that adapt instead of collapse.
And I practice what I preach. I've rebuilt my own firm around AI-enhanced tools because the field is changing and I'm not waiting for it to leave me behind.”- Kirsten McGregor
The result? You get the strategic wisdom of a seasoned expert, delivered with the speed and analytical power that only AI can provide. It's not AI replacing expertise— it's Kirsten’s expertise turbocharged.
Traditional consultants offer experience but move slowly.
AI-native firms move fast but lack domain wisdom.
Sagax gives you both.
