Founded in 2017, Outpost delivers consulting solutions for mission-driven organizations. We partner with clients and share their journey.
Our roots
The name Outpost is inspired by the great outdoors as a place of discovery and teamwork. Our Owner/CEO spent summers canoeing and backpacking in Wisconsin’s northwoods. Voyages across Trout Lake, Isle Royale, and the Porcupine Mountains meant mapping a shared direction, adjusting mid-stream, and reaching the destination together.
Our company reflects these roots. Organizations of all shapes and sizes face uncertain terrain and new challenges. If the team isn't paddling in sync, the expedition will struggle. At Outpost, our consulting experts are here to partner with clients, chart the course ahead, and share their journey.
“I’m impressed with the data – but even more with your approach. We need to use this for all of our agency improvement initiatives.”
About the Owner/ceo
Houston founded Outpost in 2017 believing in a better way to deliver for clients.
He first started in management consulting in 2001 at the corporate offices of JP Morgan, aiding its merger with Chase Manhattan. In his career, he has served as a federal government officer and has led teams of up to 54 as a contractor in support of U.S. defense and intelligence organizations with over 51,000 people, $11B budgets, and $297B in assets. He is also an intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve.
He holds a master's of science in management, a graduate certificate in organizational change, and some professional certifications. But consulting isn't about degrees or certificates on a wall – it's about people. When your organization faces its next uphill climb, hire the right trail guide.
