Who We Are
At NorthWind Partners, we believe a genuine commitment to diligence, performance-earned trust, and a battle-tested, defined, repeatable process yields unsurpassed results.
We are passionate about helping organizations realize or increase their potential for success by delivering high impact human capital solutions where they are needed most.







OUR EXTERNAL PURPOSE
The work we do ultimately gives clients the confidence to move forward with their plans.
The successful results of our efforts provide investors, leaders, and organizations the ability to realize their tactical and strategic plans through the identification, assessment, selection, and development of leaders that can help them achieve those goals.
Our goal is to earn trust from clients through the success of our endeavors. We understand that, to achieve our goal, we must help clients achieve theirs.



OUR INTERNAL PURPOSE
As a firm, we will encourage, esteem, and mentor one another, at all times, so we can give our colleagues the confidence to move forward with their plans.
Our best path to growth is to recognize the tremendous value of our team members, which means transcending shabby rhetoric and taking action, regardless of convenience or desire. It means we will foster and laud an environment of service, not only to our clients, but to one another.
Each team member will lead, mentor, and engage, foremost, by example in the capacity they are able as well as to challenge themselves to be more than any limitations they or the market may place upon them.
Our goal is to be known as a leader in internal trust & loyalty and personal & professional growth.
