ESS Group Inc was born from a singular idea: that organizations and leaders should have access to the highest quality management consulting, executive coaching, business strategy, and organizational development consulting services in the industry. Founded in 2015 by Danielle Jones, a distinguished management leader and strategist, we initially made our mark as an environmental solutions company offering program management and procurement and acquisition services.

Recognizing the evolving needs of the business landscape, we expanded our horizons. In 2020, Danielle merged forces with Kyle Jones, a training and development leader focused on organizational performance and leadership growth. Together, they expanded ESS Group into a full-service advisory firm for mid-sized companies—specifically those seeking to win larger, more consistent government contracts and operate with greater clarity.

The Pivot: Less Training. More Strategy.

While our roots were in coaching and program delivery, we realized our true value came from advising leadership through moments of complexity:

Poorly built proposal systems
Unscalable operations
Leadership misalignment
Missed growth opportunities

We now help $10M+ companies diagnose internal inefficiencies, design smarter systems, and position themselves to win high-value contracts.

KYLE JONES,

CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
