Croixstone Consulting

What Croixstone Consulting does

Croixstone Consulting is a privately held, founder-owned boutique management consulting firm headquartered at 101 South Tryon Street, Suite 2700, Charlotte, North Carolina, founded on June 7, 2016 by Patti Weber and Mark Weber. The firm employs 11–50 people (with a deployable bench of 150+ senior consultants averaging 20+ years of experience) and operates across the USA and Europe, serving middle market companies (annual revenues of $10M–$1B), private equity firms and their portfolio companies, and large enterprises with client revenue spanning $12M to $33B.

The firm delivers revenue through three core service lines — Management Consulting, Interim Leadership, and Executive Search — supported by six integrated practice areas: Corporate Finance Operations, Digital Transformation, Human Capital, Operational Excellence, Program/Project Management, and Risk & Compliance. AI & Innovation Readiness assessments, roadmaps, and use-case embedding are threaded across all practice areas as a horizontal capability, alongside methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma, and predictive analytics. Core service delivery is custom engagement-based, priced per scope and duration, with multi-year contracts and no publicly disclosed standard rate cards.

The go-to-market model is sales-led and relationship-driven, combining direct enterprise and mid-market outreach with community-sourced referrals through partnerships such as the Private Directors Association, Social Venture Partners Charlotte, and Risky Women. Marketing is primarily organic (LinkedIn, blog/insights content, awards-driven earned media) supported by six consecutive years of WBENC/WOSB certification and three consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 list. No funding rounds, parent company, or subsidiary structure is disclosed; the firm appears bootstrapped and founder-controlled. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
