Charlotte, NC – March 15, 2022 – Forbes recently named Charlotte-based leadership advisory firm, Summit Leadership Partners, as one of America’s Best Management Consulting Firms in 2022. Summit was selected as one of the best firms out of over 1,800 applicants this year.

Since the firm’s inception in 2014, Summit Leadership Partners has quickly risen as a premier consulting firm in the industry that advises boards, investors, CEOs and their management teams on accelerating leadership and organization performance to drive growth and increase enterprise value.

“Our goal at Summit Leadership Partners is to meet an increasing need to scale and improve talent outcomes and organization performance for companies and business leaders by ensuring a highly differentiated team that has a powerful balance of behavior science expertise, business acumen, and courage to advise clients on what the really need. We pride ourselves on being partners and not just service providers,” said Dan Hawkins, Founder and CEO, Summit Leadership Partners. “This recognition can be attributed to the hard work of our talented team, our loyal clients, and to our dedicated partners and friends. We are honored to have won such a prestigious, unbiased award and will remain committed to excellent client service work by staying focused on our client’s business goals, not just the trade we practice.”

To determine the list, Forbes partnered with Statista to survey more than 7,500 partners and executives of the management consultancies that applied for the award, as well as 1,300+ senior executives who had worked with the management consultancies and have been their clients over the last four years. These partners and executives were asked to recommend consultancies and self-nominations were not considered, ensuring the award rankings were unbiased. Over 1,800 management consulting firms were considered for this ranking.

This prestigious industry award by Forbes follows Summit Leadership Partners being named on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in America in both 2020 and 2021, ranked #5 on Consulting Magazine’s 2020 Fastest Growing Companies, and was listed in the top 10 in Charlotte Business Journal’s 2020 Fast 50.
