Being based in our nation’s capital allows us to affect change in some of the most influential institutions in the world. This unique experience prepares us to support mission-based organizations very well.
WHAT WE DO
We love designing big ideas and building solutions for hard problems. The status quo makes us antsy so we take action to create positive change in organizations.
HOW WE WORK
We do this by listening, by constantly learning and delivering services and strategies that create value and provide long-lasting results.
Your goals are our goals. It's as simple as that.
OUR CORE VALUES
COMMUNITY
We place an emphasis on people by cultivating an environment where we is greater than me: [We > Me].
EXCELLENCE
Each of us is responsible for building a better company and better results for each other, our clients and partners. We strive to always do the right thing at every level.
INDEPENDENCE
We build on people’s individual strengths so our community can thrive. We celebrate and respect the different experiences, skills, ideas, and personalities each employee brings to the company.
CURIOSITY
Employees are encouraged to experiment, challenge the status quo, and engender creative solutioning in each other so new and interesting ideas are found and constant learning is pursued.
LEGACY
Each individual has an owner mentality and is responsible for building a better company and solutions – always creating value and considering how our impact today influences our future.
“I founded Star Cypress Partners because I wanted to do meaningful, purposeful work. It is important to me to leave a positive mark on something greater than myself. It has always been rewarding to use my talents to empower others, influence teams positively and shape organizations for success.”
