Change Makers, Future Shakers
Who We Are
Driven by humility, hunger, and connection, with teams based in Minneapolis and Denver, we collaborate with businesses nationwide to ignite change — from insights to outcomes.
Our Story

We founded Pioneer in 2009 to create jobs people love in service to the many companies we admire. As a team, we deliver world-class consulting with small-town heart and hustle. We filter all of our decisions through our three core values—humble, hungry, connected—and only do what we know we can do exceedingly well.
This is our commitment to consultants and clients.
Our Shared Compass & Values
These standards keep the Pioneer team pointed toward our mission.
Humble
We serve clients across the U.S., supported behind the scenes by talented, good, kind people based in Minneapolis and Denver.
Hungry
We have an insatiable need to learn, grow, and deliver at the top of our game.
Connected
We stay deeply connected to one another, our clients (who almost always become friends) and to the Minneapolis and Denver communities we love and serve.

Team Pioneer
We're a team of corporate executives, entrepreneurs, turn-around experts, MBA grads, and pioneers who were looking for the right business fit. A place filled with people who are humble, eager to do amazing work, and connected to the people and activities they're passionate about inside and outside the workplace. A place where we can also be moms, dads, cross-fit coaches, fishermen, serial workout-ers, investors, readers, knitters, painters, pursuers of African politics, philanthropists, dog lovers, wine drinkers, and micro-brewers.
Together, we’ve found an awesome place to call home.

At Pioneer, you’ll work directly with executive teams, solving complex problems and shaping strategies that reset what’s possible. Sometimes the work is headline-worthy. Sometimes it’s foundational. But every project earns trust – and earns us the right to take on more.
