SAJE Consulting

What SAJE Consulting does

SAJE Consulting, Inc. is a privately-held, Silicon Valley-based management consulting firm founded in 2005 by Pete Dobson (President and CEO) and Beth Gorell (Vice-President and COO), both former long-tenured Hewlett-Packard executives. The firm employs a team of approximately five senior consultants and provides business strategy, organizational assessment, change management, channel development, metrics development, process improvement, and onsite training and facilitation services to enterprise clients in high-technology, energy, and higher education.

The firm's service delivery relies on recognized change-management methodologies rather than proprietary technology. Consultants hold certifications from Prosci (Change Management), William Bridges & Associates (Transition Management), ODR (Management of Change), and CPP (MBTI interpretation). SAJE augments its core advisory practice through three channel alliances: Channel Enablers (a Miller-Heiman division) for global channel sales training, Twogether Creative for marketing services, and PartnerMarketing.com for web-based channel performance tools. There are no software products, SaaS offerings, APIs, or AI/ML components in the delivery model.

SAJE generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements on a likely retainer or fixed-fee basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Marketing and new business are sourced primarily through direct sales, referrals from existing clients, and channel-partner introductions. The disclosed client base is concentrated in large enterprises and includes Cisco, VMware, Google, PayPal, HTC, VCE, Hitachi, NetApp, Chevron, and Stanford University. Ownership and operations remain founder-led with no disclosed institutional investors or parent entities.
