About Us
Our name reflects a core principle: the power of a collective, where people pool diverse expertise to achieve shared goals.
The Strategy Collective brings together skilled professionals who align, collaborate, and support one another to help you achieve impact.
Our Vision: We envision a future where people, workplaces, and communities have the power to thrive—together.
Our Mission: Our mission is to equip bold leaders and their organizations with the strategy, execution, and insight to spark movements that transform institutions and strengthen the communities they serve.
History
The Strategy Collective was founded on the belief that the most pressing challenges cannot be solved by one perspective alone. The co-founders joined forces—bringing expertise in strategy, people, and operations—to help leaders and organizations bridge vision and execution. From that foundation, we built a model where diverse project teams are intentionally assembled to pair big-picture strategy with the practical tools, coaching, and execution support leaders need to turn vision into reality.
