We refer to our Palo Alto office, the second established in California, as "100 percent tech all the time." The 10 consultants and 20 professional staff are focused on all aspects of the technology industry.

Located in the heart of downtown Palo Alto, we provide thought leadership on all matters related to executive leadership to technology focused clients in Silicon Valley and around the world. Each team member incorporates the latest and most advanced technology into his or her private life as well as business practices.

A highly diverse group, we have deep relationships and connections both locally and around the world. When not looking for a charging station for our cars, we are often connecting with others through social media. Yet we are not always tied to our mobile phones or electric cars. The office's annual off-site to Half Moon Bay allows for some fun riding Segways and enjoying the fine food and wines associated with the region.

We look forward to partnering with you.
