We have been on both sides of the table
With roots in AI since 2019 and in Digital since 2012, we’ve been on both sides of the table: as consultants, and also as buyers of consulting services.
We’ve been in your shoes: we have hired top consulting firms, only to be met with generic output. We felt the disconnect: the lack of industry experience, and the inability to create tangible value.
This led us to a realization – we could do better.
And so, over multiple cortados, Spearhead was born.

The magic of working with Spearhead
At Spearhead, we don’t work for our customers.
We work with our customers. Big difference.
There are many areas where our customers have expertise. Similarly, there are many areas where we have more expertise than our customers.
When we come to the table, the customer team and Spearhead team are both bringing value to the table. We work in true partnership. And by working together in true partnership, we create magic.
Innovation is created with this magic. Value is created with this magic.
Innovation and Value drive AI and Digital transformations for today’s leaders: across Products, Platforms, GTM, Customer Experience…as well as transformations across Marketing, Sales, Services, Operations, and IT. This is true partnership that is beyond a traditional customer vendor relationship.
So, we don’t work for customers. We work with our customers to create innovation and value to help them win in the market.
