Consulting in Seattle
Seattle built the infrastructure the modern economy runs on: the companies that dominate global cloud computing anchor the region, with e-commerce, aerospace, and a deep-water port around them. It is a city of platform-scale operators — and of every company trying to sell to, build on, or compete with them.
The local terrain
What actually drives Seattle.
The Puget Sound economy concentrates a remarkable share of the world's computing infrastructure: hyperscale cloud, e-commerce logistics, and the enterprise-software ecosystems around both. Aerospace remains a defining industry, from airframe assembly to a supplier web spread across the region, while the port ties Seattle into trans-Pacific trade. Global-health and biomedical research institutions add a substantial nonprofit and life-sciences layer.
Strategy in Seattle is shaped by proximity to giants: pricing and positioning when a platform could enter your market, building on infrastructure a neighbor owns, or — inside larger organizations — deciding how AI actually changes an operating model that already runs at scale. We do our best work at exactly those decision points, where the analysis must be as serious as the counterparty.

A note on how we work in Seattle.

What you engage is the thinking and the work, delivered where the decisions are made.

Questions
Working with us in Seattle.
- Much of Seattle's economy sits inside two giant companies. Who do you serve?
- Everyone around and beside them: the companies building on the platforms, competing with them, selling to them, and the established operators deciding how cloud and AI change their own model. The giants have internal strategy functions; the rest of the market is who we're for.
- Do you come on-site in the Puget Sound area?
- As the engagement requires, yes — the practice is service-area by design, with no local office, and most work runs remotely between working sessions. Deliverables and cadence are set in the scope, so you know exactly when the work lands and where.
