Fueling Growth
Operations and Products
In Spanish and Italian, Marea means "tide."
At Marea Partners, we believe that when business becomes a force for good, it creates a rising tide of abundance and prosperity that lifts all boats.
Tides are cyclical. They ebb and flow.
Today's world is largely unpredictable. Politics, social activism, emerging markets, media influence, technology, etc. are all disruptive factors whose impact must be considered and managed in order to maintain consistency and growth, regardless of the short-term prevailing winds.
Sustainable success demands the agility and ingenuity to create internal stability despite surrounding volatility.
Only from thoughtful strategy, execution, and discipline comes scalable, profitable growth that will carry social good beyond community and country to the entire planet. That's why we support those committed to doing more good by doing well.
We are strategists. We are value creators. We are believers in the transformative capabilities of business.
Our team is a collaborative group of former C-suite executives and entrepreneurs from across a broad spectrum of industries. With a range of operational and financial expertise we provide stakeholders an independent view of challenges faced. Our real-world experience allows us to seamlessly fit into the fabric of existing management teams and execute.
We partner directly with our clients with a steadfast commitment to their success. As veterans of leading management consulting firms, we found those traditional models constraining.
Our team members seek out the innovation and free thinking needed to develop robust and resilient strategies for valuable growth. The depth of our experience, uniquely combined with the flexibility of an entrepreneurial mindset, sets us apart.
The leaders of the new economy need a team aligned to maximize their impact on the world. MareaPartners is that team.
Accomplishment offers one the opportunity to positively impact the world.
Sustainable success allows one to actually change it.
