In business today, it is seldom possible to have all of the skills and information we need to be successful without seeking outside assistance at some point in time. If that time has come and you are looking for an expert team of skilled professionals to help your organization solve your toughest issues, Animus Solutions and CEO Phara McLachlan offer proactive solutions to exceed your goals.
The word Animus means strong, intelligent, direct and aggressive…an animated spirit. These things combined not only form the foundation of Animus Solutions, but describe Phara McLachlan as well. She thrives on being the watchdog and sometimes “Great Dane” in your corner who makes your business stronger, leaner and more successful. That drive is what gets her out of bed each day, along with the special time she spends each morning with husband, Scott, and two children, Ethan and Ava, who complete her world and keep her grounded. As her most influential mentor, her mother, taught her early, “You do what is right, no matter what” and take care of your own (family, friends, those who can’t fight for themselves)… just the type of partner in work and life that we all need.
