The 2015 Seven Small Jewels: Attain

Greg Baroni, Chairman and CEO of Attain, has a long and storied history in the consulting profession. He was a Senior Partner with KPMG for more than 20 years and then served as President of Unisys Corporation. But one experience, in particular, helped shape his vision of the firm he founded when he purchased Public Sector assets from BearingPoint in August 2009.

Baroni was one of the Senior Partners who led the separation of the consulting business at KPMG from the audit and tax business. “As one of the people that led the separation at KPMG, I was always under the impression that the consulting business would be going through a metamorphosis and that was part of the thinking as we formed this firm,” Baroni says.
