FOUNDED TO CATER FOR EXECUTIVE COACHING AND MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCY FIRM

THE ORGANIZATION:

In 2019, NorthConsulting was founded to cater for executive coaching and management consultancy firm. Our client list (see below) includes corporate entities from a wide section of industries. We have held workshops and conducted coaching seminars.

Post Covid, there’s been a dearth of qualified consultants in the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry in Pakistan. Realizing this opportunity, a core team of professionals were added to the team and got together under the umbrella of North Consulting to bridge the gap.

Introduction to the core team follows. The team structure is quite flat and it has been our model that whatever expertise is not available inhouse, the team has outsourced under personal supervision, retaining consultants of other fields.

The team has a fluid structure and is open to work with other Industry players too across Pakistan.
