Seattle is the mothership so it is the broadest span of work: Project Leadership, Org Effectiveness, Operations and Process Improvement, Property Development, Venture Capital, Marketing and Product Management, M&A, and Technology. Seattle has larger clients so likely more opportunities. The firm started up a subsidiary last year called Expert Velocity which focuses on contracting; these roles are spectate from the other offerings and business units.

The firm has deep roots in healthcare and the Portland market is one of the most established so I imagine so. Reach out to me and I'll connect you with the folks there: burner123456777@gmail.com

@p1 thanks for the breakdown. I'm going to be moving to Portland in about a year and a half to two years and was doin some research on the firms up there. I'm on the healthcare side doing mostly transaction advisory (M&A, valuation type stuff) and some general strategy work. Do you guys do that in Portland? I haven't heard of Point B doing much pure in the strategy and advisory space.
