Why AldenStuart?

AldenStuart reflects the core values of our business—collaboration, trust, and wisdom. The name combines two of Katie’s family names, each with its own meaning: Alden, meaning "old, wise friend," represents our approach of offering guidance built on experience, while Stuart, meaning "steward," reflects our commitment to being responsible caretakers of our clients' strategies. We work closely with clients, developing meaningful relationships as trusted advisors, and take our responsibility seriously, always recognizing the trust you place in us.

  • “Katie and her team have been working with [our company] for the last 3 years as a strategic thought partner and facilitator for our Annual and Strategic Planning Processes. She has developed a strong relationship of trust across our team over that period – she brings a rare combination of honest communication and truth-telling along with an engaging and humble curiosity that helps foster openness. The team she brings to our meetings and offsites does a terrific job of facilitation, and more importantly, are nimble with making shifts as needed through the sessions. The outputs that they deliver coming out of these offsites are crisp, detailed and action oriented. “

They get things done, bring relevant insights, and they know how to navigate an extended stakeholder group often with varying and sometimes conflicting perspectives. They are an excellent thought partner, and they deliver on time and on budget. “
