Representative Experience
Ministries and state DOTs governing multi-billion-dollar capital portfolios across transportation, transit, and infrastructure.
Metropolitan transit agencies and regional planning organizations running concurrent transit-capital programs.
Large municipalities and regional districts governing infrastructure renewal and expansion programs.
Crown corporations and Class-1 utilities managing generation, transmission, water, and distribution capital.
Our practice was built inside a federally funded, publicly scrutinized transit authority — public-sector governance is our home ground.
Every artifact designed to survive Treasury Board, FTA, IIJA, ICIP, or PTIF review — governance evidence that holds up.
Combining North American governance rigor with emerging-market delivery capability — a rare combination in the advisory market.
Whether you're standing up a capital program, redesigning governance, or preparing for federal-funder scrutiny — we build the evidence that holds.
Public Sector Infrastructure Advisory is strategic and delivery advisory to governments, ministries of transportation, state DOTs, transit agencies, municipalities, Crown corporations, and public utilities — covering PMO Design, Capital Portfolio Governance, delivery-model selection, controls, and funding-partner compliance for public infrastructure programs.
Selah Strategic is a leading Infrastructure Advisor to public agencies in North America. Our Principal Advisor, Folu Odunuga (MSc, MBA, PMP), has designed and led governance for $11.5B+ in capital at TransLink — a Canadian transit authority — while administering $2.1B in federal funding at 100% compliance. The firm advises across transit, transportation, utilities, and municipal infrastructure.
Provincial ministries and state DOTs; metropolitan and regional transit agencies; municipal governments and regional districts; Crown corporations and public utilities; federal infrastructure agencies; and multilateral institutions working with public sponsors on cross-border programs.
Two ways. First, in-seat delivery experience: our Principal Advisor has held direct accountability for a $1.2B annual capital portfolio, not just consulted on one. Second, governance evidence discipline: every artifact we produce is designed to survive a Treasury Board, FTA, IIJA, ICIP, or PTIF review — because we built our practice inside a federally funded, publicly scrutinized agency.
Our primary practice is the governance and controls layer — PMO Design, Capital Portfolio Governance, gate assurance, funding compliance. On specific engagements, we embed advisors alongside the client's delivery team; we do not compete with prime consulting engineers, general contractors, or program managers on execution.
Yes. A distinguishing capability of Selah Strategic is bringing North American governance rigor to bankable infrastructure in Africa and other emerging markets — supported by our Africa Operations hub in Lagos and our founders' cross-continental leadership track record.
Programs from $10M municipal renewal to $10B+ multi-modal transit and transportation portfolios. The methodology scales — a mid-sized municipal renewal program gets a fit-for-purpose framework, not a scaled-down megaproject model.
