Diversity: Our mission requires cultivating talent and empowering voices from both the United States and the Middle East. We want our firm to be a safe place where real and honest debate is not only possible but welcome. We promote diversity in part by building and sustaining an equitable and inclusive work environment through industry-leading research on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Our actions speak louder than our words.

Transparency: Transparency is our most valued currency. We cannot honour our commitment to diversity without embracing openness and clarity in our business operations. While confidentiality is required with many of our clients, we balance that commitment with internal and external transparency in communication, decision-making, accounting, assessment, monitoring, and evaluation.

Trust: At its core, our mission is about building bridges and strengthening relationships. That’s why trust means everything to us – trust in our passion for the mission, in our care for our clients, in our integrity, in our professionalism, and of course, in our ability to deliver effectively, efficiently, and predictably.

Nonpartisanship: While we engage in discussions with industry associations and interact directly with various stakeholders throughout the U.S. Federal Government, we do not support one political party or group over another. Importantly, we do not engage in “lobbying activities” or lobby on behalf of any of our clients.
