What Deal With It Management does

Deal With It Management, LLC is a privately held, founder-led management and education consulting firm headquartered in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, established in 2020 by Dr. Pedro J. Santana after a two-decade career at Stockton University. The firm delivers a portfolio of professional services centered on talent optimization, strategic planning, organizational design, DEI programming, and executive coaching, anchored by Predictive Index behavioral assessment tooling via a certified consultant partnership. Its client base spans government agencies, corporate leadership, non-profit executives, K-12 and higher education institutions, and individual leaders, with named engagements spanning Fortune 500 enterprises (Disney, Lockheed Martin, Sony Music, AB InBev, Subaru, Publix) and academic and municipal clients (Lincoln University, SUNY Erie, City of Atlantic City, Atlantic County).

The service offering is organized into core consulting (organizational design, strategic planning, professional development, DEI Elite Package, executive coaching), workshops (online 1:1 Talent Strategy Sessions, half-day and full-day in-person sessions), and a parallel compliance practice covering business formation filings (LLC, Corporation, PLLC, Nonprofit), registered agent services, and trademark search and filing. The DEI Elite Package is a distinctive three-consultant bundled engagement addressing implicit bias, trauma, and microaggressions. Distribution is direct-to-client via online booking, in-person delivery at client sites, keynote and workshop speaking, and a website with email newsletter and blog content; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The operating model is built on a network of senior lead independent consultants (Dr. Santana, Dr. Davis, Dr. Fernandez-Ketcham, Dr. Leitner, Dr. Sapp, Dr. Cabrera, Alex Rodriguez) delivering engagements under the Deal With It Management brand. There is no disclosed software product, no AI/ML capability, no institutional capital raised, and no public revenue or headcount figures. Geographic reach extends across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Midwest US plus Puerto Rico and Chile, primarily driven by higher education and non-profit client footprints.

Direct peers

• BCT Partners: Diversity, equity, and inclusion consulting firm providing research, training, and organizational development. Direct comparable to Deal With It Management's Elite DEI Package, with overlap in corporate and public-sector DEI engagements.
• MGT Consulting Group: Consulting firm serving K-12 and higher education, government, and non-profits on organizational improvement, equity, and technology. Closely comparable to Deal With It Management in target customer segments (education, government) and service mix (DEI, organizational consulting).
• PI Midlantic: Direct competitor — a Predictive Index-certified talent optimization consultancy running 1:1 Talent Strategy Sessions, workshops, and team-alignment engagements in the Mid-Atlantic region. Closest functional peer to Deal With It Management's PI-based delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Korn Ferry: Global organizational consulting firm providing talent management, executive search, and strategic consulting. Comparable to Deal With It Management in the talent optimization and organizational consulting category, but operating at vastly greater scale and serving Fortune 500 enterprise clients.
• Huron Consulting Group: Public consulting firm with a dedicated Higher Education practice serving universities on strategy, accreditation, and operational improvement. Direct competitor in the higher-education external review and strategic-planning segment where Deal With It Management's "Higher ED External Review" competes.
• Heidrick & Struggles: Global executive search and leadership advisory firm with practices in culture assessment, leadership development, and organizational consulting. Broad incumbent comparable in leadership development and culture-alignment consulting, though primarily serving large enterprise.
• EAB (Education Advisory Board): Membership-based advisory firm serving higher education institutions on enrollment, student success, and strategy. Comparable to Deal With It Management's higher-ed consulting offering, especially around accreditation support and strategic planning for institutions facing enrollment and funding pressures.
• DDI (Development Dimensions International): Global leadership and talent management consulting firm focused on assessment, leadership development, and selection. Direct overlap with Deal With It Management's Predictive Index-driven talent optimization services, though DDI uses its own assessment suite rather than partnering with PI.

Others

• The Predictive Index: Technology platform partner that powers Deal With It Management's talent optimization offerings. Listed as a peer because PI's certified partner network is the channel through which Deal With It Management's core services reach the market, and many PI partners are effectively competitors for the same client engagements.

Emerging players

• Catalyst Inc. Non-profit research and advisory organization focused on workplace inclusion and equity, providing consulting, research, and training. Comparable to Deal With It Management's DEI consulting line, though Catalyst operates more as a research/thought-leadership entity than a delivery consultancy.
