The Top 25 Consultants of 2000: Jerry Greenberg of Sapient Corp.

When Sapient was named to the Standard & Poor's 500 index last month, e-consultancies around the world gave out a spirited cheer, indicating the firm's recognition was part of a bigger story  —  one that exposes the growing ambition of all e-consultancies.

For Jerry Greenberg, Sapient's S&P coup was just another chapter in the annals of a consulting pioneer.
"We are the only company from prior to the Internet world to be the leader in the new world, because we 'got it' first," Greenberg says. "We have already gone through a transformation of the fundamental strategy curve that either the new guard didn't make or the old guard didn't even know about." While Sapient is clearly not alone, certain rivals are finding it hard to eschew Greenberg's words.
Where will Sapient's pioneering co-CEO turn next? Analysts tell us that Greenberg is pushing hard on both the wireless and broadband fronts.
