Loren Trimble, Co-Founder, President & Managing Director of AArete, worked at Arthur Andersen for 16 years and then was one of the co-founders of Huron Consulting Group. In 2008, Trimble says he saw an opportunity in the future of Big Data and Analytics and a coming together of the provider and the payer space in healthcare so he split off from Huron and launched AArete.
"We took the wonderful things we learned from Andersen and the wonderful things that we learned from Huron and we set out to build AArete to last," Trimble says. "We wanted to do things better than what we've seen in the past. We felt like there was a gap in what firms were offering and what clients needed. We felt like they needed to react faster in the marketplace than what the big firms were able to do. So we set out to bring that solution to the market, and I think we did."
And the numbers back it up. AArete was named one of Consulting magazine's Fastest Growing Firms last year with a three-year growth rate of 25 percent. The firm upped the ante in 2015 and accelerated its growth to 58 percent. This year, Trimble is forecasting 28 percent growth.
