Kristam McMenamin
Kristam (Kris) McMenamin, the founder and President of McMenamin Consulting Group LLC, a women-owned small business that provides consulting services to public and private sector clients, knows consulting. Most recently, she led a small firm on an award-winning 10-year run of solid and consistent growth. Growth that was due, in large part, to her outstanding reputation for understanding the client’s needs and delivering the right resources to get the job done. Today, she is at the helm of her own ship, ready to not only repeat her pattern of success, but to exceed it.
With over 25 years of broad-based consulting experience including human capital planning and analysis, strategic planning, business process analysis and improvement, training development and delivery, change management and organizational analysis, and facilitation, Kris also knows consulting from the perspective of a business owner. Having worked at firms that range from the very large to the very boutique, Kris respects the value of both, but knows where she wants to be. “I very much like the idea of being a Big Firm when it comes to expertise and what we offer our clients, but a Small Firm when it comes to how we interact with our clients, partners, Associates, and potential clients. Big where it’s best, small where it’s smart. That’s MCG.”
