Managing Partner's Note: When starting our consulting business, one of the easiest decisions to make was the name. I knew we had to name it after my father. He was alive then and we had the privilege that he remained our chairman and chief mentor for over a decade. His everlasting contributions to the business, our clients and to each of us have made us who we are today and will continue to guide us in the future.
