About Us

Barbara Lewis and Dan Otto met at the Anderson Graduate School of Management at UCLA when they enrolled in the Executive MBA program. With complementary skills and years of experience, Barbara and Dan teamed up to form Centurion Consulting Group to assist businesses in solving problems through the use of computer models. Many of the Firm’s clients are referred from international business consultants who are professors at the Anderson Graduate School of Management. Other clients come from referrals from Centurion Consulting Group’s clients whose problems have been solved. Frequently, Barbara and Dan give presentations to national and regional organizations about computer model building, marketing, financial and operational management. They’ve made presentation to the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals, the California State Bar Association, the Rotary Club, UCLA Law School, etc.
