In addition to Mr. Nieberg and Mr. Pollack, Overbrook Consulting employs a range of talented and experience management consultants with expertise across a broad range of industries and functional areas.  These staff members have all had extensive experience and major consulting firms such as Booz Allen & Hamilton, McKinsey and Accenture. Unlike larger consulting organizations, we DO NOT use newly graduated students whose contribution to an assignment is to simply use it as a glorified and subsidized training ground.

We work closely with our clients to explicitly identify the precise needs and experience levels required for each assignment and then carefully identify potential staff that would be best suited to address the task at hand.  Frequently, we provide our clients with a number of staffing alternatives and allow them to jointly select the members of the project team.
