Execution on vision

Criterion works in the social change space. Our clients and partners are people and organizations launching or scaling ventures that will create a better world. We work most often with large non profits, foundations and individuals in areas like health care, education, poverty and religion. We work with people who have a bold vision for what is possible, and we partner with them to translate vision into reality. 

A core feature of our firm is an insatiable dedication to bright ideas and solution-makers. We bring to our clients and partners a wealth of connections; nimbleness to navigate complexity; and a deep commitment to social change.  We fundamentally believe that the world is already connected, and through invitation we make these connections visible and allow actions to leverage incredible impact.

What makes our offering unique?

  • We are hybrid talent.  We are not simply consultants to social ventures, we also develop our own ideas into social enterprises.  As a result, we have a nuanced understanding of what it takes to launch a venture.  
  • We are committed to execution, begin with a flexible plan and dive in. We often serve as executive managers in the early stages to reduce early risks and decrease time to revenue.
  • We show up and help. We have a proven methodology, the business acumen to build profitable ventures and we thrive in the throws of complex implementation.
  • We bring powerful, engaged and diverse relationships to the table and engage our network to get to the right people to make a venture work.
  • We have credibility in the social change space because we have kept our commitments there. In the sustained relationships where we work, we are chosen most often for our values.


Having myself co-founded, managed, and hired consulting firms large and small, I can attest to the uniqueness and brilliance of the Criterion approach. In a nutshell, they embrace and then give away the whole world. Fearlessly generous in their networking, they eschew possessiveness, pride, and greed in favor of seeing to it that their clients get what they need, from whoever might offer it. Crazy like a fox, I'd say.
