About

The Colton Group was founded to provide board governance and executive level support to CEO’s and Boards of Directors engaged in accelerating the growth of their business.

Leadership Team

Our expertise comes from principals and associates who have held board roles and executive roles in a wide range of companies from small start-ups to large global companies.  Through that experience, combined with state of the art research, we have developed models, frameworks, and methodologies that have been successfully used in a variety of businesses, industries, and markets.

History

In 2004, The Colton Group was founded as an executive advisory firm with the slogan “Pathfinders for Growth”.  The company name and slogan pays homage to Joseph Hutchins Colton, an entrepreneur and map publisher.  Known professionally as J.H. Colton, he founded an American mapmaking company which became an international leader in the map publishing industry between 1831 and 1890.

The for-profit companies we serve represent a company life-cycle range from emerging businesses to mid-market companies to mature multi-national firms in a variety of industries including multiple business services, technology, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and defense.  The nonprofit partners we serve include foundations and funders, nonprofit service organizations, and social enterprises.
