What CMA Global does

CMA Global, Inc. is a privately held, US-based organizational psychology and leadership consulting firm headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with additional offices in Denver, Kansas City, and Evansville. The firm partners with enterprise clients — primarily healthcare organizations, alongside financial services, construction, energy, and family-owned businesses — to deliver talent assessment, leadership development, executive coaching, team building, succession planning, and organizational development services. Named clients include Ascension Health, Yale New Haven Health System, SSM Health, Mercy Health System, Pfizer, and Express Scripts. Engagements are customized, quote-based, and structured as multi-year consulting contracts delivered by the firm's team of business psychologists.

The firm's service portfolio is anchored by proprietary assessment instruments (360° Feedback, Assessment for Selection, Assessment for Development, Assessment for Sales, Assessment for International, and Entry-Level Questionnaire) and two branded cohort programs — The Leadership Advantage and The Campfire (a women's leadership development offering). The team of more than 50 consultants, psychologists, and operations staff is led by Partners Terence Bostic, Jennifer Nguyen, and Jami Wolfe, with Partner Emeritus Dan Bean; the senior bench includes multiple vice presidents holding PhDs in Industrial-Organizational, Clinical, and Counseling Psychology from institutions including Saint Louis University, University of Colorado, Portland State University, and the University of Oklahoma. CMA's go-to-market is enterprise field sales through direct consulting engagement, supported by content marketing (blog, podcast, YouTube), industry events including an annual Family Business Speaker Series, and referral-driven demand from existing client relationships.

CMA Global is partner-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity in the input data. Revenue, founding year, and ownership structure are not publicly disclosed, and the firm operates a client portal at platform.cmaconsult.com as its primary technology layer on top of human-delivered consulting. There is no evidence of AI/ML capability, proprietary software products, or platform-scale automation; the competitive position rests on the scientific credentials and tenure of its consultant base, codified assessment methodologies, and deep enterprise relationships in healthcare and adjacent verticals.

• Hogan Assessments: Provider of personality-based assessments used in selection, development, and coaching. Competes directly with CMA's assessment practice as a methodology/tool provider rather than full-service consultant.
