Founding Principles

We are never transactional

STS® is here to serve as your trusted talent management advisors

STS serves a diverse mix of client organizations (small, family owned businesses, Fortune 150 companies, and not-for-profits) across an array of industries. Our services support senior organizational leaders and teams who are positioned to have an impact on the business and who, over time, possess the capability and drive to assume a larger scope of responsibility. We closely partner with senior business leaders as well as Human Resource and Talent Management leaders to ensure the appropriate positioning and sustainability of our consulting beyond the engagement.
