As long as those two pages contain fewer typos than your post did, I’m sure you’re fine.

For what it’s worth, it’s all about beating the filtering algorithms now... so single page resumes with fewer “buzz words” may be less advantageous

Who do you think is reading this 2-page resume? They barely get through one page. It's in your best interest to highlight the most important things for the human and computer.

I know that absolutely pass on an resume over one page. building executive summaries is a key skill in consulting, if you can't do that with your resume, I'm absolutely not hiring you

I’ve been hired multiple times with a multi-page resume, but most of my experience is outside of consulting where there’s not as much equivalence between roles (so an interviewer couldn’t look at “Manager, Practice Name” and have some general understanding of what I do).
