Trium
Our Story
The Trium Group is a San Francisco-based boutique management consulting firm that helps leaders align, equip and mobilize their organizations to solve complex business problems and execute multi-dimensional strategies.
The consultancy was formed in 1998 by Andrew Blum, Jib Ellison, Tom Miller and Jon Rich―four friends with a shared mission to help create more brilliant organizations. Blum runs the firm as Managing Partner; the others now lead other businesses.
Trium and its people are best known today for helping organizations solve and execute against complex problems at the intersection of strategy, leadership and culture―in areas like corporate transformation, restructuring and post-merger integration, and leadership-driven change management. The firm is committed to approaching these complex challenges with holistic perspective, collaborating with clients to ensure that plans are fully executable, that people are aligned around these plans, and that enabling capabilities are built and cultural changes are driven.

Regardless of the client challenge or task at hand, Trium approaches it with the higher-level aim to build brilliant organizations: entities that deliver sustainable value for customers, employees, shareholders, and their communities; where leaders inspire passion and performance among their people; and where individuals have a clear sense of vision and purpose that sends them home each day confident in the impact of their contributions. This matters to us because we hold the fundamental view that business economics is the key driver of human activity on the planet… so by helping to create more brilliant organizations, we can change the world.
Notable highlights in the firm's more recent history:
― 2006: Trium generated widespread attention when The Wall Street Journal published an article on the firm's unique approach of aligning and sharing risk with clients by linking its compensation to client results and satisfaction. Also that year, Trium Managing Consultant Yul Kwon leveraged his leadership consulting skills to win the reality TV show Survivor Cook Islands.
― 2007: Trium earned recognition from San Jose Magazine as one of the San Francisco Bay Area's 50 "Best Place to Work." The firm also added incremental thought leadership by welcoming Academic Partners Dr. Jennifer Chatman of the Haas School of Business at the University of California-Berkeley and Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer of the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
― 2008: Trium delivered its 100th client engagement. The firm also doubled its international business.
― 2009: Trium promoted three of its best from within, elevating consultants Monica Chi, Shani Harmon, and Brad Sutton to the position of Principal based on superior client work and firm leadership. Building upon its strong international presence, the firm for the first time delivered more work overseas than in the U.S.
