What Stonehill does

Stonehill is a privately held strategy and innovation consultancy founded in 2016 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida, with additional offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, and New York. The firm serves Fortune 1000 companies, private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies, and government clients, with named engagements spanning Red Bull, Starbucks, Yamaha, Equifax, FIS, Stellantis, Valley National Bank, Tampa Bay Rays, the State of Florida, and others. Its portfolio is organized around six service lines — Strategy and Design Thinking, Organizational Design, Process and Customer Experience, Change and Project Management, Technology/Analytics/AI, and Acquisition Integration — supplemented by specialized solutions including Carve-Out and TSA Advisory, Healthcare Consulting, and Real Estate Advisory. A January 2026 launch added a dedicated Customer Experience Consulting model targeting NPS and CSAT improvement in regulated industries, and the firm reported record revenues in Post Merger Integration and AI advisory practices in late 2025.

Stonehill's commercial model is sales-led, professional services consulting sold at the executive level to enterprise buyers through direct outreach, thought leadership content, referrals from PE sponsors and corporate development teams, and industry recognition. The firm markets an operator-led positioning — consultants who have personally run functions, carried P&L responsibility, and led integrations they now advise on — and has received third-party validation including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Emerging Business of the Year, American Business Awards Professional Service Company of the Year, Consulting Magazine's 75 Most Influential Consultants, and the University of Florida Gator 100. Revenue is generated through project-based and retainer engagements; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Stonehill does not develop or sell proprietary technology products. Its technical capabilities are advisory and integration-oriented: deploying generative AI (OpenAI Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot), RPA platforms (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism), predictive analytics (Kensho, Blue Yonder, SageMaker), and customer experience platforms (AskNicely, Salesforce, HubSpot) inside client transformations. The firm holds no disclosed patents or trademarks, has no disclosed external funding, and operates as a concentrated founder-led firm under CEO Doug Pace with no parent company or institutional investor involvement indicated.

Direct peers
