About The Persimmon Group

The Persimmon Group helps organizations eliminate hard work that gets them nowhere and execute with speed and discipline on the work that truly matters. The Persimmon Group is a management consulting firm founded in 2004, deploying small, senior teams trusted on billion-dollar programs to deliver lasting outcomes for complex transformations.

What Makes Us Different

The Persimmon Group is the "Special Ops of consulting" — small, senior teams solving high-stakes problems with speed and precision where off-the-shelf frameworks fail.
Persimmon links project management directly to competitive strategy, treating PM as the engine that turns strategy into measurable outcomes — not a back-office function.
Persimmon both executes and builds capability simultaneously — delivering results while training internal PMs and coaching executives, so clients own the competency after the engagement ends.
Engagements span predictive, agile, and hybrid lifecycles at $1B+ program scale, including complex multi-vendor and international programs.
Every project manager is hand-selected by experienced PM practitioners for strategic thinking and stakeholder management — not matched by keyword scanners.
