Our Team

We’re a collection of doers, of get-it-done-ers. We’re not just thinkers, we’re think-out-of-the-boxers. We’re entrepreneurs. We’re builders. We’re creators. We’re a team…we’re the New Heartland Group.

Leadership

We are very intentional about hiring people who have a positive attitude rooted in an entrepreneurial spirit. Our goal is to help every member of our team grow professionally by being exposed to areas of the business that they may not otherwise see. We’re anti-silo and super committed to daily collaboration. Our motto is “Don’t Tell Me, Show Me.”

Specialists

We have a deep pool of best-in-class specialists that we deploy based on the exacting needs of our client’s objectives.
