Senior Staff
Strategic consulting is as much art as science, a balance reflected in the background of SDG’s staff. We attract consultants with rigorous analytic capabilities, deep business and industry knowledge, and training in management and organizational skills.
Yet our people also bring creativity, insight and humor to the table – a combination of intellectual and human qualities that makes for satisfying and productive relationships with our clients. It also creates a rewarding environment in which to work, leading to strong staff retention that enables us to dedicate a high ratio of senior consultants to client teams.
We maintain a flat organizational structure and, although you’ll find biographies of many of our partners and senior staff below, we recognize that our company’s success is built on the invaluable talents and contributions of our entire staff.
