Our firm

A small firm with outsized conviction.

We founded Meridian on a simple idea: the best advice comes from people who've actually sat in the seat. No pyramids, no jargon — just senior partners solving real problems beside you.

Our story

Founded to do advisory differently

Meridian & Co. began in 2008 when three operators left the world's largest consultancies — frustrated that the people who won the work were rarely the people who did it. We built the firm we always wished we could hire.

Today we're a tight bench of forty senior advisors across New York and London, chosen for one thing: they've led the kind of change they now advise on. We stay small on purpose, so every engagement gets our best people.

What we stand for

Principles we won't compromise

01 — Truth over comfort

We tell clients what they need to hear, backed by evidence — even when it's not the easy answer.

02 — Skin in the game

We tie our fees to outcomes. If you don't win, neither do we. That keeps everyone honest.

03 — Leave them stronger

Success is your team owning the capability — not a dependency on us. We build to hand over.

The partners

Senior people, on every engagement

The team you meet is the team you get. No hand-offs to juniors.
