Outcomes first
We measure ourselves by the impact we leave behind, not the volume of decks we produce.
Our story
Founded on a simple conviction
Meridian Consulting was founded in 2004 by a small group of former operators and strategists who were frustrated by advice that looked brilliant on paper but fell apart in the real world. They believed consulting should be judged by one thing: whether the client is measurably better off.
That conviction still drives us. We've grown from a four-person practice into a global firm of more than 180 consultants across offices in New York, London, and Singapore — but we've kept the founders' rule that a partner is accountable for every engagement, start to finish.
Today we advise Fortune 500 boards, fast-scaling challengers, and public institutions. What unites them is the ambition to do something difficult — and the willingness to do the work.

Our approach
How we work alongside your teams
Every engagement is different, but our way of working stays consistent: get close to the real problem, bring evidence, and build solutions your people own.
Listen before we advise
We immerse in your business, data, and culture before forming a single recommendation.
Co-create the solution
Your team helps design the plan, so the answer is never imposed from the outside.
Stay through delivery
We remain accountable until the results show up where it matters — the bottom line.
Let's build something that lasts
Tell us about the challenge in front of you. We'll bring the experience, the evidence, and the hands to help you solve it.
