What Empodera Consulting Group does

Empodera Consulting Group is a Chilean professional services firm headquartered in Las Condes, Santiago, that delivers executive outplacement, personal marketing, and corporate training services. Founded in 2015 by Oscar A. Contreras following the failure of his prior videogame startup Syrenaica, the firm sells a portfolio of methodology-driven programs targeting senior professionals (typically aged 40–55 with 10–20+ years of experience) and corporate clients in Chile and LATAM. Its flagship offering, the Impulso Laboral outplacement program, promises executive recolocation within 90 days, and is supported by the B2U® suite of personal-branding, vocería, and negotiation programs.

The company's intellectual property is methodology-based rather than technology-based. The core product stack consists of (1) Impulso Laboral and its simplified 3-session variant priced at $390,000 CLP, (2) the B2U® suite including Marketing Personal, Taller de Vocería, and Asertividad y Negociación, (3) Coaching para Emprendimiento, and (4) corporate solutions spanning Outplacement Empresas, Conferencias, Comunicación Estratégica, and Planificación Estratégica. B2U®, SPTC®, Empodera®, and Impulso Laboral are registered trademarks. The firm maintains no SaaS platform, mobile application, API, or AI/ML components; all service delivery is human-led via workshops, coaching sessions, and corporate training engagements. Supporting assets include an extensive Spanish-language website blog, video interviews, and two books authored by Oscar Contreras (Restart and B2U: Marketing Personal).

Empodera operates a hybrid B2B/B2U go-to-market with two primary sales channels: direct enterprise sales to HR departments and C-suites for corporate outplacement and training engagements, and a self-serve e-commerce storefront for individual professionals purchasing programs online. Pricing is mixed—one-time program fees for individual packages and negotiated enterprise contracts for corporate work. Marketing relies on SEO/content marketing, video content, client testimonials, earned media (including TVN interviews), and a referral community of successfully placed executives. The firm claims to have rehired over 1,000 executives via Impulso Laboral and reports a 400% growth mark from founding through 2016. The publicly disclosed client portfolio includes Electronic Arts, Dell, Nvidia, GM, Best Buy, Cencosud, BCI, Minsal, Singularity University, TVN, and others. No public revenue figures, funding history, or financial disclosures are available.

Direct peers

• Lee Hecht Harrison (LHH): LHH is a global career-transition and outplacement firm (part of Randstad) that delivers executive outplacement, coaching, and leadership development to enterprises and individuals — directly comparable to Empodera's Impulso Laboral program and corporate training portfolio, though at much larger global scale.
• Right Management: Right Management (a ManpowerGroup company) provides career transition, outplacement, and talent development services globally. It is one of the closest direct competitors to Empodera's executive outplacement offering, including personalized coaching methodology analogous to Impulso Laboral.
• Challenger, Gray & Christmas: Challenger, Gray & Christmas is a US-based outplacement and career-coaching firm serving both enterprises and senior executives. Its boutique outplacement model and executive focus closely parallel Empodera's positioning in the LATAM executive market.
• DBM (Drake Beam Morin): DBM is a legacy global outplacement and career-transition firm (now integrated with LHH/Randstad). It pioneered structured executive outplacement methodologies comparable to Empodera's Impulso Laboral framework, making it a relevant historical and operational peer.

Broad incumbents

• Korn Ferry: Korn Ferry is a global organizational consulting firm offering executive coaching, leadership development, and talent management — overlapping with Empodera's corporate training, strategic planning, and executive coaching lines at a much broader scale.
• ManpowerGroup: ManpowerGroup is the global staffing and workforce-solutions parent of Right Management. Its outplacement division overlaps directly with Empodera's enterprise offerings and is a potential strategic acquirer of localized outplacement brands in LATAM.

Regional players

• SpenglerFox: SpenglerFox is an executive search and talent-consulting firm with strong presence across LATAM and EMEA. It serves a similar senior-executive client base to Empodera and offers adjacent career-coaching and leadership-development services to enterprise buyers.

Emerging players

• Intoo: Intoo (formerly part of DBM) is a career-transition and outplacement provider with a strong digital platform for both individuals and enterprises. It competes in the same coaching-led outplacement category as Empodera but with greater technology integration.
• Randstad RiseSmart: Randstad RiseSmart is a tech-enabled outplacement and career-coaching platform combining AI tools with human coaches. It represents the digital-first evolution of the outplacement industry that Empodera's manual coaching model will increasingly compete against.
