What we do Best?
Hi there, I’m Holly Dekle;
I’m an Austin, TX based Project and Program Management Consultant and Certified PMP.
Before founding Set Boundaries, I worked at top large corporate businesses in Aerospace, Maritime, and Manufacturing managing multimillion dollar projects and customer portfolios by building and guiding strong successful teams.
I bring both government and commercial contract knowledge and experience to the Program Management Consulting Industry.
My experiences cover both national and international customers such as Lockheed Martin, Pratt and Whitney Canada, General Electric, Honda Jet, IHI Japan, Bombardier, Austal, US Army, US Navy, and more.
Managing Projects and Programs is my passion. I am best known for going above and beyond for the success of my clients.

“I have worked closely with Holly Dekle for many years executing large multi-discipline aerospace programs. Holly is able to quickly formulate and execute detailed project plans transforming chaotic programs into predictable successes.

“I had the pleasure of working with Holly for about two years on a new turboprop engine control system. Holly was the Program Manager for the firm we hired to do the design/manufacturing/certification of the unit. She was an exceptional leader with strong technical knowledge and rigorous program management skills.
Holly knew how to drive her team to deliver results within a very aggressive timeline and managed change very effectively. When you work with Holly you always know the status of your project and know what will be delivered and when.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Holly for a little over two years at Triumph Engine Control Systems. Holly acted as the program manager on two programs. In both programs, Holly was always proactive in managing the team and ensuring that we stay on schedule and meet customer needs. Holly has such a remarkable work ethic, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure a successful program. Holly also is good to ensure we follow process and always incorporated any lessons learned from previous programs into her own.
Holly was such a amazing person to work with not only from her impressive program management skills, but also from a personal perspective. Holly is a very warm, kind, passionate person who just beams when you talk to her about what she loves. She is incredibly driven, and she has definitely made me a better engineer.
