Since 1978, we have been aligning leadership around a strategic vision with our planning, executive search, and fundraising services. With offices in Boston and New York and working with clients nationwide, we partner with leaders in academic medicine, higher education, arts and culture, human service, and other nonprofits in delivering on their most important goals.
We see opportunities through a fundamentally different lens. Our services are based in a deep understanding of strategy and a shared desire for impact.
