We’d never say anything so trite and absurd like
everybody needs a little martini now and then … But, oh dear, would you look at that, we just said it.

On a spring day in 2006, Joy Martini sat at a really nice desk on Madison Avenue, working for one of the largest law firms in the world. Big office, great view, flanked by senior partners. She was busy, and she always needed more hands than the HR department was willing to provide. Sure, the rolodex (yikes) brimmed with smart consultants. But, she rarely had the time or the budget to underwrite a learning curve for the project du jour.

Later that summer, Martini Consulting was born.

The objective was simple; leverage in-house expertise to respond to instant issues. Do it quickly and price it fairly.

Since our launch, we’ve been working at full throttle. We operate leanly, because it enables us to price work competitively. When clients want us on-site, we’re there. When we’re just swimming in work, sometimes we do it in our pajamas. Keeps the overhead to a minimum, which keeps our rates below market. And somehow, work just comes out better when you’re wearing slippers.
