What makes Apex different from other strategy firms?+

Three things: senior engagement (Partners lead every engagement), implementation capability (we stay through execution), and proprietary data (20 years of benchmarks and competitive intelligence that inform our analysis).

Do you work with mid-market companies or only large enterprises?+

We serve organizations from $50M to $50B+ in revenue. Our founding mission was to make world-class strategic advice accessible to ambitious mid-market companies, not just Fortune 500 firms.
