TRUST BUILT ON EXPERIENCE

Being a relatively new company formed in 2013 FTE cannot claim a long, rich history of servitude as a company, so why are we so successful? Plain and simple, our team of over 80 leading Partners, Project Managers, and Senior Advisors are results-focused, and that’s not all. Our industry experts have an average of 25+ years hands-on real-world experience. We have partnered with large and small companies alike including Navistar, Newport News Shipbuilders, Icon Aircraft, Spartan Motors and Harley Davidson to name a few. Our proven performance has led us to quickly establish FTE as a strategic partner as we help our clients redefine their global competitiveness through effective transformation, which in turn position themselves as global industry leaders.
