Proteus grew out of a desire to help leaders get ready for the future. Since our start in 1990, we’ve been helping clients get clear about the future they want to create for themselves and then consistently choose the simplest, most feasible ways to make that future a reality.
Our practice has grown from two U.S.-based consultants to nearly 30 worldwide, supported by a talented and dedicated administrative staff—but our mission remains the same: to make true transformation easier.
We have the great privilege of working with clients all over the world—helping them strengthen their skills, shape the future of their organizations, and work better together to make meaningful change stick. And we take pride in practicing what we preach: as we make transformation easier for our clients, we hold ourselves to the same standard.
We Partner with Clients So They Own the Outcome
High Payoff
People will be able to use what we offer right away. They’ll benefit immediately from what they’ve learned.
Fit with the Culture
People will be able to use what they’ve learned without creating a “cultural backlash” within their organization.
Simplest Thing That Works
We’ll look for the simplest workable solutions to our client’s challenge–and we’ll help to implement them elegantly.
Experienced People, Proven Tools
Our consultants pair deep experience from hundreds of successful engagements with proven tools, refined and reapplied across industries, geographies, and stages of growth.
What Our Clients are Saying
Our experience with Proteus has been transformative. Proteus is our partner, our collaborator, our inspiration, our support.
Our project team is comprised of thoughtful, smart, and creative women who listen intensely and almost always seem to have the answer to whatever we are working on. The program AGA offers to women leaders in our industry has reached an esteemed status and continues to grow.
Our relationship with Proteus is something I measure other vendor/client relationships against and there are few that compare. Applying the strategies that Proteus teaches our participants has benefited us in our own relationships. When we are asked to grow this program even larger than it has become, I am assured that our Proteus team will stand with us to help us be successful.
Megan Dunn—American Gas Association, Vice President, Talent Operations
Proteus is a long-time partner of ours. Their thoughtful engagement and consistent drive for excellence has helped ensure our program offerings not only meet but exceed industry standards, providing unparalleled value to our participants and their teams and organizations.
The faculty provided by Proteus exemplify professionalism and expertise. They are consistently well-prepared, ready to deliver impactful content and possess a commendable ability to connect authentically with our audience. This connection fosters an interactive and enriching learning environment that is crucial for the growth and development of our participants.
Together, we have made a remarkable impact on the industry, reaching over 2,000 rising leaders in media, entertainment and technology.
Proteus has been my “go to” partner for leadership development programs for more than seven years and across two companies, and I could not recommend them more highly. They have brought a winning combination of best-in-class content, expert facilitation, and most importantly, a collaborative, client-centric mindset that has allowed them to help us develop programs and initiatives that are sensitive to and reflective of the unique culture and journey of each organization I’ve been a part of. At both Spectrum Enterprise and FanDuel, they developed and delivered programs both for specific diverse cohorts as well as for broader leadership populations, ranging from multi-month cohort-based offerings to large-scale event-based “summits.” In all instances, their content and delivery has driven extraordinary levels of engagement and measurable positive outcomes, and they are an absolute delight to work with—I highly recommend them to any organization looking to drive impactful and lasting programs in this space.
Tricia Alcamo—FanDuel, Chief People Officer
Whenever we’ve been at an inflection point in our growth, you’ve helped us define who we want to be, where we want to go, and how we’ll get there.
Danny Meyer—Founder/Chairman at Union Square Hospitality Group
You’re our secret ingredient—you help us to be better leaders, and you help us support each others’ success as a team of leaders.
Bonnie Hammer—Vice Chairman NBCUniversal
In my five years of working with Proteus they have been a great partner. Their approach includes a robust set of tools and frameworks, a hands-on approach, and a commitment to developing a deep understanding of the key stakeholders around me—all of which have contributed to helping our teams and me be the best we can be. They consistently get what we’re trying to do and they support us to make our dreams a reality.
Detavio Samuels—CEO of Revolt
Our work with Proteus helps us see ourselves more clearly and then decide how to become the leaders, the team and the organization we need to be.
Kate Johnson—President at Microsoft US
Over the last decade, I have come to trust Proteus as my “go-to” resource for strategic planning, leadership development and executive coaching. The Proteus approach in these areas is not only insightful and effective, it is actionable and impactful. Whether you are setting a strategic plan for the coming year, or developing the leadership qualities necessary to take on a larger role, Proteus understands the challenge and take you on a personalized and enduring journey to success.
Stacy Green—EVP and Chief People Officer at Sony Pictures Entertainment
When I was faced with integrating 3,000 employees after our merger, my first call was to Proteus—to help me and my senior management team create a vibrant, impactful, and implementable vision for the future. We have realized our vision and three different cultures have become one. I’m thankful for all Erika and Proteus have done for us—I know we would not have gotten so far, so fast without them.
