In 2002, as signs of a looming recession began to surface, companies tightened budgets and scaled back on new and existing projects. Large consulting firms responded by reducing tolerance for bench time—the periods between client engagements—leaving many high-performing consultants underutilized and unable to deliver their full potential. 

QMT Solutions was founded in this climate to turn challenge into opportunity. By operating with lean overhead and modest margins, we created a model that delivers top-tier consulting at a fraction of traditional costs. This approach not only made world-class expertise accessible to clients navigating economic uncertainty, but also provided a platform for high achievers to stay engaged, contribute meaningfully, and thrive through turbulent times.
