About Us

We are a strategy and innovation consultancy that helps Fortune 500, government, and nonprofit organizations thrive in the face of change.

We hail from different backgrounds and places — including organizations such as McKinsey, L’Oréal, Goldman Sachs, and Pentagram — but we all share a passion for working on problems that matter, from stemming chronic disease to closing the skill gap. As a talent-driven organization, we care deeply about the employee experience, from benefits and policies to culture.

We believe that career choices are not binary; you can have a challenging and rewarding career while also living your life. We’ve even authored the Human Company Playbook, to share concrete examples of how companies can create more value by investing in people.
