In December 2007 we paused to reflect on the diverse backgrounds and geographies of the clients and colleagues who made our new business possible, despite a looming recession. To show our appreciation, we chose to “pay it forward” through charitable contributions to organizations with shared meaning to our global clientele. With deep gratitude, our “New Year Giving Program” has become a cherished annual tradition.
This experience shaped the principles that guide our business to this day. These are more than words on a page to us—they infuse everything we do and represent who we aspire to be in this work, and in the world.
A virtuous flywheel of enlightened, purpose-driven executives leading thriving organizations creating sustainably healthy communities worldwide.
