Our History

Norbridge was founded in 1993 by partners whose goal was to build a leading management consultancy. The name derives from the Old North Bridge near the original company headquarters, site of the first battle of the American Revolutionary War.

How We Work

We do not pretend to be all things to all clients. However, where we compete we are very effective, for several reasons:

Senior-Level Expertise

Norbridge partners have worked for major companies and have had leadership roles in large consulting firms. That extensive, hands-on experience, complemented by our functional expertise and decision-support tools, provides unrivaled knowledge and close personal attention to every engagement.

International Expertise

Through our international client work and previous line management experience, we understand how regulation, business practices, and customer priorities can vary in different countries. Understanding those nuances means that we can provide the best solution for a particular market.

Size and Flexibility

Our size and staffing model is designed to support the highest-quality work and address the client’s individual situation. Because we have a lean organizational structure, we can customize an engagement to the appropriate team size, duration, and intensity. 

Analytical Prowess

We offer the analytical sophistication that you would expect from a larger firm, in such areas as corporate, business unit and product line strategy; business development including L&A, M&A and partnering; technology and product due diligence assessment; revenue forecasting, financial modeling, pricing and scenario planning. This allows us to challenge management’s thinking and arrive at fact-based solutions.

As collaborative and flexible as a small firm, as experienced and rigorous as a large firm, and as experienced as the client executives we serve – that’s a powerful combination today, one uniquely designed to deliver superior results. 

Our Principles

  1. The solutions to problems are different for every client.

  2. We avoid preconceptions in order to arrive at the right answers, and the answers can change over time.

  3. We tell you what you want to hear only when it happens to be the truth.

  4. We know how to support complex decision processes.

  5. We understand the dynamics of your industry and your strategic situation. 

  6. We’re confident you will work with us again because we’ve added tangible value on the last project
