About
Thinking Cortex is a strategic intelligence firm.
We started with a simple thesis: the most valuable asset a company can have is better thinking — and the systems to act on it quickly.
The world is full of consultants who deliver reports. We'd rather build capabilities. Full of agencies who execute tactics. We'd rather design systems. Full of vendors who sell hours. We'd rather be partners who share outcomes.
We work at the intersection of intelligence (artificial and human), growth strategy, and modern operations. Our engagements are focused, our teams are lean, and our bias is toward building things that last.
The Collective
We're not a traditional firm with layers of hierarchy and junior analysts doing the work. We're a network of senior practitioners — strategists, technologists, and operators — who come together around specific problems.
Our team spans multiple continents, disciplines, and decades of experience. What we share is a way of thinking: rigorous, pragmatic, and always focused on what actually moves the needle.
How We Work
Outcomes over outputs
We measure success by what changes, not what we deliver.
Depth over breadth
We'd rather do three things exceptionally than ten things adequately.
Honesty over comfort
We'll tell you what we actually think, not what you want to hear.
Systems over tactics
We build things that keep working after we leave.
Partnership over service
We work with you, not for you. The best results come from collaboration.
We are headquartered in the United States with team members across North America, Europe, and Asia. We work with clients globally and structure engagements around outcomes, not time zones.
