Slalom, a Seattle-based business consulting firm, has opened a Salt Lake City office and expects to bring 100 jobs to the area in its first few years in Utah. Slalom said its business concentrates on helping other businesses accelerate digital transformation by enhancing cloud-based capabilities and creating more customer-centric organizations.
“Salt Lake City and Silicon Slopes are driving innovation worldwide and we’re committed to accelerating that growth,” said Troy Johnson, Slalom’s chief growth officer and co-founder. “In the past year, we’ve seen newer entrepreneurial organizations rapidly scaling, while other businesses and public-sector organizations are reinventing themselves to better serve customers in a digital age. Businesses need a partner to help them speed up transformation, and Slalom is the ideal partner.”
“Slalom will be the largest full-suite consulting firm with a dedicated physical presence in Utah, offering strategy, technology, and business transformation capabilities for both private- and public-sector clients,” said Isla Bragg, Slalom’s general manager of Salt Lake City. “What also makes Slalom unique is our team lives and works in the Salt Lake City community. We have a vested interest in the region and want to join with others to build and shape a better future.”
Slalom has offices in 40 markets around the world and its clients include more than half the Fortune 100 and a third of the Fortune 500, along with startups, not-for-profits and other innovative organizations. Founded in 2001 the company has over 9,000 employees.
