Consulting in Anchorage
Anchorage sits nine hours by air from most of the industrialized world, and built an economy on that geography: Ted Stevens International ranks among the world's busiest cargo airports as the refueling crossroads between Asia and North America. Around it, the city runs Alaska's resource economy — oil-and-gas operations offices, Alaska Native corporations with national reach, a military anchor at JBER, and the logistics lifeline every community in the state depends on.
The local terrain
What actually drives Anchorage.
Cargo is the global franchise: freighters crossing the Pacific stop here, supporting a handling, maintenance, and logistics ecosystem with ambitions to add value beyond fuel. The resource economy is administered from Anchorage even when extracted elsewhere — producers, service companies, and the engineering firms that support North Slope operations. Alaska Native regional corporations headquartered here operate diversified businesses across government services, construction, and resources nationwide, forming a distinctive corporate tier. Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and a summer visitor economy complete the base.
Strategy in Alaska is logistics economics before anything else: every business carries supply-chain costs and risks the Lower 48 never prices. Praxis works that reality — network and resilience strategy for operators on thin transport margins, growth and diversification planning for Native corporations balancing shareholder mandates with commercial discipline, energy-transition positioning for a petroleum-dependent economy, and capacity strategy for a cargo hub deciding what it wants to become next.
