Yates

What Yates does

Yates Ltd. is a privately held professional advisory and consulting firm founded in 2005, headquartered in Stateline, Nevada, with an additional office in New York. The firm operates with 11-50 employees and is founder-led by Charlotte Yates. Yates serves large enterprise clients exclusively, primarily Fortune 500 firms and their C-suite leaders, with stated coverage across North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. The firm's positioning centers on closing the gap between strategy and execution, combining top-tier strategic advisory clarity with hands-on transformation delivery performed by senior practitioners embedded alongside client leadership. Yates does not sell or build proprietary technology products; its differentiation rests on methodology and senior talent rather than owned platforms.

The company's revenue is generated through professional advisory and consulting services delivered under an outcome-based, success-linked fee model that the firm describes as "bold by design." Under this model, Yates stakes fees to client outcomes and absorbs execution risk that traditional time-and-materials consultancies decline, providing strong fee-to-outcome alignment but creating revenue lumpiness tied to discrete transformation milestones. The service portfolio spans Strategic Advisory, Transformation, Modernization, Market Innovation, Implementation, and Change Acceleration. Modernization is broken into sub-services covering AI and Automation, Cloud Transformation, Enterprise Networks, Software Management, ITO/BPO/3PL advisory, and Risk and Cybersecurity. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by the Spark Executive Forum, a private C-suite peer community; thought leadership content; and senior practitioner outreach.

Yates targets large enterprise organizations across Financial Services, Healthcare Payers and Providers, Technology and Telecommunications (primary verticals), and Life Sciences, Manufacturing, Media and Entertainment, Restaurant and Food Service, and Consumer Packaged Goods (secondary verticals). A single named case study describes a $20B healthcare payer transformation where Yates preserved $500M+ in value through governance rebuild and delivery acceleration across 50+ mapped business processes. The firm is privately held with no institutional investors disclosed, enabling outcome-based risk-taking but limiting access to growth capital relative to peers.
