Operators first, consultants second.
Northpeak was founded in 2014 by people who had run plants, practices and sales teams — and wanted advice they could actually use.
Built for the companies big firms overlook.
Large consultancies are designed for the Fortune 500. Owner-led businesses get junior teams and generic frameworks. We started Northpeak to bring senior, practical advice to companies with 30 to 800 people — where one good decision changes everything.
Today we are a team of 22 based in Chicago, working with clients across the Midwest and beyond.
Three things we will not compromise on.
They shape who we hire and which projects we take.
Plain language
If your front-line manager cannot understand the recommendation, it is not finished.
Skin in the outcome
We agree the success metrics up front and report against them monthly during implementation.
Leave capability behind
Your team runs every tool and template we build. You should not need us forever.
The partners you will work with.
Every engagement is led by one of these four people.
