About ConsultPro
Guiding businesses through the consultant selection process since 2010
Guiding businesses through the consultant selection process since 2010
ConsultPro was founded in 2010 by Dr. Eleanor Harrington, a former management consultant who recognized a critical gap in the market: businesses struggled to identify and select the right consultants for their specific needs. After witnessing numerous organizations waste valuable resources on mismatched consulting partnerships, Dr. Harrington assembled a team of industry veterans to develop a systematic approach to consultant selection.
Our journey began in a small office in Amsterdam's historic canal district, where our founding team of five professionals worked tirelessly to create our proprietary Consultant Compatibility Framework (CCF). This innovative methodology quickly gained recognition for its ability to dramatically improve the success rate of consulting engagements by focusing on both technical expertise and cultural alignment.
By 2015, ConsultPro had expanded across Europe, helping over 200 mid-sized and enterprise clients optimize their consultant selection processes. Our breakthrough came in 2017 when we successfully guided Vantage Technologies through a complex digital transformation that had previously failed with three different consulting firms. This success story was featured in Harvard Business Review, establishing ConsultPro as a thought leader in the consulting industry.
Today, we operate with a core team of 25 professionals across our Amsterdam headquarters and satellite offices in London and Berlin. We maintain our founding principle: that the right consultant is not merely the most technically proficient, but the one whose approach, communication style, and values align with your organization's unique context and culture.
To transform how organizations select and engage with consultants, enabling more productive partnerships that deliver measurable value and sustainable results.
We maintain strict independence from consulting firms to ensure our recommendations are free from conflicts of interest. Our loyalty lies exclusively with our clients and their success.
We reject gut feelings and subjective impressions in favor of structured assessments and quantifiable data. Every recommendation we make is supported by our rigorous evaluation methodology.
We measure success not by the initial contract signing, but by the lasting value created through the consulting engagement. Our focus is always on sustainable outcomes rather than quick fixes.
We believe in building our clients' internal capabilities alongside external expertise. The best consulting engagements leave organizations stronger and more self-sufficient.
