Impetus at Five

9th July 2019

Impetus Welcomes its Newest Team Members and Celebrates its Anniversary.

Impetus Consulting Groups Newest Team Members (July 2019)

This is a very exciting week at Impetus Consulting Group. First and foremost, we are thrilled to welcome eleven new employees to our team, including the members of our first-ever college recruiting class. The size of the class is a testament to the power of our internal Anaplan Enablement program as well as to the strength of the culture we’ve built.

This week we also celebrate five years in business. Impetus was founded with the idea that there was a better way to do consulting; that we could be a force for change in the lives our employees, our clients and our partners. We believe in the value and sustainability of our collaborations and relationships built inside and outside of the organization. Five years in, that founding principle still guides our behavior and our decisions.

At Impetus, we believe the overall success of the company is driven by its people. We have been fortunate to assemble, enable, and grow a team of deeply curious, talented, and passionate people committed to the success of our clients and each other. Together, we relish the opportunity to support our clients to define and build the future narrative of business.

2019 has been a banner year for Impetus. With this latest hiring class, we’ve surpassed forty total employees. We recently engaged our fiftieth unique client. Earlier this year we were named a “Small Jewel” by consulting Magazine; a rewarding validation that our approach to building a firm through trust and credibility resonates with others in the space.

We look forward to continued growth of our people and expertise and driving success for our clients and partners.
