Our Team
TRIA Strategy Partners was born from a vision to connect strategy and implementation in the age of automated intelligence.
After years of successfully launching transformative tools, products and ventures for Fortune 500 companies, we recognized a critical need in the market: organizations require partners who can not only develop transformation strategies but also execute them with agility and precision. This realization led to the founding of TRIA Strategy Partners—a hybrid consultancy- implementation partner.
Our collaborative approach brings together the right expertise for each project, ensuring our clients benefit from both strategic insight and practical implementation skills—the hallmark of TRIA’s agile strategy methodology.
All consultants working on our client projects have access to our proprietary Cognis platform, which is home to a implementation knowledge base, productivity tools and digital employees offering support. This increases our consultant’s effectiveness by 40% vs traditional workflow design, and ensures we deliver consistent, high-quality results for our clients.
