About Us
More About Us: Our Mission & Philosophy
Public Equity Group (PEG) is a diverse practice of strategy and management consultants mobilized to help visionary leaders and organizations achieve impact. PEG works with partners poised to make a demonstrable difference on the “big issues of the day” — in service of equity.
In particular, we look for clients with the following qualities:
Deep equity/justice commitment and compatible organization values
High potential for national or global impact, scale, and/or replication
Strong leadership (strategic thinking, management, implementation)
High organization capacity to implement (staff and board quality; planning, monitoring, operations, and systems quality)
PEG teams engage in strategy and business planning that is robust, practical, and affordable. Our work typically culminates in summary strategic plans that detail a client’s 3-5+ year goals and theory of change, programmatic priorities, organization (staff, skill and system requirements), and economic requirements — as well as ongoing implementation and project management plans.
We value diversity and cultural competency, a commitment reflected in our leadership, client selection, methodology, staffing, communication, and more.
We forge deep, long-term relationships with leaders and organizations at the forefront of their respective fields, supporting their evolution, and celebrating their successes via case studies, media, and more — long after the engagement has ended. By doing this, we aim to strengthen and empower our partners, helping them to build demonstrably better “models” for change and ultimately spurring dramatic improvements in the quality of life of vulnerable populations and communities.

The name “Public Equity Group” is many things — among them, a statement of our values, a reference to our origins and approach, and — of course — a play on words.
While some private equity firms have been criticized for their pursuit of quick returns at the expense of long-term sustainability and socioeconomic good, PEG is about the opposite. PEG seeks to help promising public and socially-minded organizations strengthen and scale, in service of social impact, using many of the analytic, management, and organizational approaches honed by our predecessors and brethren — of whom PEG is, quite literally, “derivative.”
