About the Company

Newground

Newground began with a simple belief. Experienced consultants should be able to build firms around true specialization, without choosing between focus and scale.

In 2014, four management consultants shaped the ideas for building something different. Drawing on their experience building consultancies, their ambition was to create an environment where the principles of consulting done right could take shape, guided by deep expertise, long-term relationships, and professional pride.

From the outset, the goal was not to build a single firm. The founders believed the strongest companies are built around clear niches and entrepreneurial teams. Instead of consolidating into one organization, they created a structure where specialist firms remain autonomous while benefiting from shared infrastructure, long-term capital, and aligned ownership, with expertise close to decisions and clear accountability across the alliance.

Founded in 2014, Newground now employs over 300 professionals.
