This past June, our team at Ensemble was thrilled to welcome Catherine Williams to the team as our Chief Operating Officer and co-leader of the G2 Leadership Institute. With more than 30 years of experience across firm operations, practice management, and executive coaching, Catherine brings a rare depth of expertise to our team. She’s already stepped into her role co-leading G2 alongside Philip, starting with the upcoming Class of 2028, and is helping shape our research efforts with our True Ensemble Data Insights 2026.

Partners in advisory firms often find themselves struggling to find consensus and make decisions about everything from how they pay themselves and their employees to how they will grow their firms. As a consultant, I often hear from owners looking for external guidance to help them through these decisions. After one or two conversations, it becomes clear that the first thing that needs attention is alignment among partners, not a compensation plan or business development strategy.

Identifying a firm’s challenges is only the starting point. Real transformation happens through action, alignment, and follow-through. At The Ensemble Practice, we partner beyond diagnosis, helping firms implement change and achieve lasting results. Check out the next installment of Ensemble Edge: Consulting Insights to learn more.
