ABOUT
Our Technology Consulting Team: 25 Former CXOs
More than 100 FORTUNE 500 companies have trusted their highest value transformation work to the experts at Kickdrum.
But Kickdrum is about more than numbers
KICKDRUM PRINCIPALS
Unlike traditional diligence and development firms, Kickdrum has brought together senior executives across industries and technology sectors to guide strategy and drive executive-level business impact.
Kickdrum’s principals have spent decades in technology leadership roles at the nation’s largest automotive, healthcare and software companies, and strategy consulting firms. They’ve also held CTO roles inside of numerous early stage startups. The mix has led them to build repeatable technology transformation playbooks that incorporate widely tested best practices that fit within aggressive timelines and budget constraints.
