2. Lausanne Business Solutions
This year's most-impressive newcomer goes to Wilmington, Del.-based Lausanne Business Solutions, which makes its debut at No. 2. Founded in 1986 as The Lausanne Institute, Lausanne Business Solutions originally provided research and consulting solutions to Government, Aerospace and Defense. Since that time Lausanne has expanded to include a full suite of People Strategy and Human Capital Management consulting solutions, says Gregory Pontrelli, President/CEO & Chief Talent Strategist for the firm.
"At Lausanne we are passionate about talent. We are fortunate to have a very talented group of consultants and we believe this recognition will help us continue to attract and retain the best in the industry," Pontrelli says. "Ultimately this translates into more successful engagements, greater deliverables, more unique solutions, and outsized results for our clients."
