Our story
We started Nord Consulting because the best advice we ever gave came from the partner in the room, not the team behind the slides.
Large firms sell leverage: a senior name on the proposal and a junior team on the work. We built the opposite. Every engagement is led and delivered by a partner who has run a business or advised a board through the same decision.
Since 2012 we have worked with more than 180 leadership teams across Europe and North America. Most of our work now comes from clients we have worked with before, or from the people they recommend.

The Nord Consulting difference
(04)
The judgement of a global firm, without the machinery.
Nord Consulting is an independent advisory firm for leaders facing high-stakes decisions. We bring the rigour of a global consultancy with the focus of a small, senior team — and measure ourselves by one thing: what changes after we leave.

01 — Seniority

Of engagement hours led by partners
Senior people, start to finish
Partners lead and do the work. No pitch-and-switch, no pyramid of analysts learning on your time.
02 — Evidence
%
Of recommendations backed by client data
Evidence over opinion
Every recommendation is grounded in your numbers, your customers and the market — and tested with the people who will run it.
03 — Accountability
%
Of fees linked to agreed outcomes
Accountable for results
We agree measurable targets up front and tie part of our fee to reaching them. If it doesn’t work, we don’t walk away.
Fourteen years, one way of working.
