You’ve spent long enough being known for where you worked. It’s time to be known for what you do.
After a career like yours, the most valuable thing you own isn’t your last job title. It’s your point of view.
You have the trusted relationships, the experience, the judgement, the perspective. AI makes those things more valuable, not less.
If you are wondering whether there is another way to use everything you have spent decades building… there is. For the first time, experienced operators can build practices that would once have required teams of analysts, researchers and support staff. Our infrastructure changes how your expertise is delivered.
A professional home, with real infrastructure.
More than one way to earn.
Independence usually means a single income line: your own billable time. Inside The Principals Group there are several, and they compound.
Own the client relationship and deliver the work yourself, at the rates your experience commands.
Bring in other Principals on engagements larger than any one person could carry. Share the work, share the economics.
Take a share of the value you create, not only the hours you spend. The model rewards ownership of the result.
Pass on work you cannot take, or should not take, to a Principal who should. Referral is recognised commercially, not merely socially.
Place fractional leaders and specialists from the TPG pool into client organisations, and earn a margin on the placement.
Where the client’s problem calls for it, bring TPG’s AI solutions and subscriptions to the engagement alongside your advisory work.
Your growth is your equity.
What you build inside The Principals Group belongs to you.
The kind of people who thrive here
Principals come from different sectors and paths, but they tend to share a few things:
Substantial senior operating experience, often including time at or near C-suite level.
A track record of owning outcomes, not just running processes.
Credibility that opens doors on the strength of their name.
The judgement to know which engagements to take on, and which to pass.
An appetite to build something alongside peers, rather than simply be placed.
We’re building our founding group of Principals now.
If you think you might belong in it, we’d like to talk.
