Parthenon prides itself on providing a challenging and rewarding entrepreneurial work environment for our principals.  Whether by advising Global 1000 companies, helping to build growth companies or participating in accelerated opportunities to lead and shape the firm's unique culture, principals at Parthenon apply their skills to the utmost.

Because the firm attaches a high degree of responsibility to this position, Parthenon chooses a select group of M.B.A. graduates from top business schools to join our team.  Just as there is no typical principal at Parthenon, each member having broad backgrounds from both the public and private sector, there is no typical client engagement either.  A principal can expect to work with a variety of clients including:

• CEOs and business leaders from all types of corporations, including Global 1000 companies
• CEOs and business leaders from emerging/high growth companies
• Business leaders from private equity firms and their respective portfolio companies
• Business leaders from educational institutions or healthcare organizations

The type of work a principal can expect varies as much as the clients they will work with.  For an overview of the type of services we provide and the industries we serve, please refer to Our Expertise.
