About Stanford Consulting

Since 1990, Stanford Consulting has aimed to develop the next generation of top management consultants by giving students the opportunity to solve real-world business problems for our client companies. Our members include undergraduates, graduate students, and Knight-Hennessy Scholars who bring diverse academic and professional perspectives. We provide our consultants with the unique experience of collaborating with leading companies while delivering high-quality, impactful work for our clients.

We organize extensive training and professional development for our consultants that rivals the training done at top-tier consulting firms. Our graduates have excelled at firms including McKinsey & Co., Bain & Co., and the Boston Consulting Group, as well as top investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Morgan Stanley. Stanford Consulting alumni also have taken top positions in industry, creating a valuable network for the group.

We partner with Stanford’s Distinguished Careers Institute Fellows, senior leaders who have run global companies and shaped entire industries, to oversee every project. Their guidance creates an unparalleled offering: the insight of Stanford students combined with the judgement of world-class executives.

We are guided by a seven-member Advisory Board of distinguished Stanford Consulting alumni serving as managing partners and directors at TPG, Warburg Pincus, Carlyle, Google, McKinsey, and Bain.
