Acuity Advancement Group

Leadership

Acuity Group is collective, not an agency.

Each of our core teams are comprised of senior, seasoned authorities, who’ve had the benefit of learning at big jobs with terrific responsibilities.

Because we’ve been both demanding clients and innovative consultants, we see each assignment through multidimensional perspectives.

Our leadership experiences in research, strategy, policy, planning, communications, technology, and design gives us the unique ability to synthesize enduring solutions to some of the most vexing challenges our clients face.

Together, we’ve helped visionary leaders advance select nonprofit, educational, and governmental institutions—throughout the world.
