FIRM PROFILE
The firm was founded in 2025 to provide a unique approach to management consulting. The cornerstone of our approach comes down to leveraging data to create value in operations, infrastructure, finance, and personnel.
While other companies also offer these services, what is different about Red Ivy Partners is the firm’s unparalleled commitment to a tailored client service approach. Red Ivy Partners is operated by its owner – Ben Nelson – who has more than 20 years of experience in consulting, finance, infrastructure, and executive management positions. As a small firm, we have much more latitude in spending time and effort ensuring a seamless process that accurately reflects the needs of our clients.
Of course, our expertise matters too. The firm’s founder spent seven years in policy and financial analysis positions in Chicagoland, Kansas City, and Wichita. This was followed by another 11 years in executive management of large municipal infrastructure systems, and another three years operating a small business.
CONSULTING SERVICES
Red Ivy Partners strives to create value by utilizing descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics modeling of your organization’s data. These different statistical methods enable optimization scenarios of millions of different options customized to your desired outcomes.
Our analytics-based approach can be paired with strategic planning, visioning, and goal-setting processes to ensure that your organization has defined goals supported by your constituents. This ensures that the optimization steps are being targeted to areas that achieve your organization’s long-term vision.
Primary areas of expertise include financial management, infrastructure optimization, program analysis, and personnel management.
COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE
Three things set our company apart. The first is our dogged dedication to provide the best client experience in the industry. The second advantage is our holistic approach that incorporates strategic visioning into the analytics-based optimization. Our deep and varied experience provides our final advantage, as we have the foresight to understand operational and financial realities.
Consulting projects succeed not just because of the nuts-and-bolts analysis and recommendations – they succeed due to grassroots organizational commitment, a clearly defined vision, and effective communication during the process. Our approach emphasizes client communication and a strategic approach to creating value.
