Consulting in Texas
Texas operates at national scale in at least five industries simultaneously: Houston runs the world's energy business, Dallas–Fort Worth collects corporate headquarters like a portfolio, Austin absorbed a decade of technology migration, the Texas Medical Center treats patients at world-record scale, and Laredo clears more land-border trade than anywhere in the country.
The state terrain
What actually drives Texas.
Houston is the global capital of energy — majors, independents, services, and trading — now layered with petrochemicals, LNG export leadership on the Gulf, and the world's largest medical complex. The Permian Basin around Midland–Odessa produces more oil than most OPEC members. Dallas–Fort Worth's headquarters concentration spans airlines, defense, telecom, and finance; Austin's technology base grew through relocation and expansion into a top-tier hub; San Antonio holds military, cyber, and biomedical strength; and the border corridor from El Paso to the Valley moves the freight of two economies. No personal income tax underwrites the relocation pitch.
Scale is Texas's advantage and its trap: everything is investable, so capital discipline is what separates compounders from casualties. Our Texas work leans senior — capital-allocation and portfolio judgment for energy and industrial operators navigating transition economics, growth strategy for headquarters and technology businesses in the country's most competitive relocation market, and operating rigor for the logistics, construction, and health businesses growing at Texas speed.

Questions
Working with us in Texas.
- Texas has every consulting firm on earth — what's different here?
- The model: senior judgment, small engagements, fixed scope, founder-led work — against an industry that sells leverage and headcount. In a state this banked with advisors, the scarce thing is a firm that will tell you not to do the deal. That's the firm we built.
- We're relocating our company to Texas — where do you fit?
- In the decisions the moving company doesn't handle: operating-model design across footprints, talent strategy in your specific metro, vendor and real-estate economics, and the change management that keeps performance through the move. Site incentives and legal structuring stay with counsel and the state's economic developers.
