Our Story
I founded CompassX to create a company that “felt small” to the employee, one that had the camaraderie and passion of a small team yet also enabled accelerated professional growth. CompassX is the end product of that ambition: a consulting firm that remains local and tightly-knit while consulting on complex problems for well-established clients.
We’re proud of the tremendous amount of effort and energy we put into matching our people to client work they actually want to do. Their engagement is evident in the outcomes we deliver for our clients: bridging the divide between great ideas and meaningful results. We are intentional about unlocking our consultants’ potential and aligning them to the opportunities that help them reach their goals.
Employees who join us become a part of our SoCal headquarters. This affords each and every new hire to be a part of something special, to interact with company leadership on a regular basis and help shape the exciting journey of a mid-growth company.
Our ability to rally exceptional “A-Players” to our firm, do meaningful work, and support adaptable career development are some of the reasons CompassX has been so successful for these past 13 years. Whether you’re looking to work for us or alongside us, welcome.
