For Immediate Release | Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
HARRIS | ALLISON today announced its launch as a strategic advisory firm built exclusively for mid-market and PE-backed CEOs. The firm delivers a fundamentally different consulting model: senior partners with decades of operating experience in every engagement, supported by proprietary methodology and AI-powered intelligence technology.
Growth-stage companies with revenues between $10 million and $500 million are consistently underserved by traditional consulting. They face enterprise-level complexity without Fortune 500 infrastructure - and Big 4 firms respond with junior staff, theoretical frameworks, and billable hour models that rarely translate to operational results. "We built this firm from the operator's seat," said Bill Harris, Founder and CEO. "I've been the executive sitting alone before work, wondering why everything looks right on paper but still feels broken. Organizations don't fail because people stop caring. They fail because people stop interpreting reality the same way. That's the problem we solve."

Bill Harris, Founder & CEO
HARRIS | ALLISON's approach combines three elements: senior partners who do the work (not just sell it), the Trust Operating System™ - a proprietary methodology for building organizational alignment through shared truth, shared language, and shared cadence - and A.L.L.I.S.O.N., an intelligent orchestration platform that helps consultants surface patterns and synthesize signals across organizational silos. "A.L.L.I.S.O.N. doesn't replace judgement - she sharpens it," said Jason Lee, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer. "We built technology that helps leaders see what others miss. But interpretation and leadership remain human. That's the point."
The founding team brings 75+ years of combined executive experience. Harris spent decades advising CEOs through high-stakes transformations. Lee led enterprise implementations across technology, logistics, manufacturing, and nonprofit sectors. Chief Strategy Officer Rachel Cogar has guided engagements generating over $3.5 billion in client revenue, with 85% resulting in successful exits, acquisitions, or funding rounds. The firm is supported by a seven-member advisory board spanning capital strategy, workforce transformation, operational excellence, and digital commerce.
HARRIS | ALLISON serves companies across 25+ industries including manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, professional services, and technology. "Recommendations are easy. Execution is hard," said Harris. "We stay until strategy becomes operational reality."
