Parker Avery’s Core Values
Our Firm’s History
The Parker Avery Group began as a handful of industry experts in Atlanta joining forces to build consulting relationships with select retailers based on trust and mutual respect. Over 17 years, we have grown to a firm whose consulting team spans the United States, along with professionals in Eastern Europe and an extension of our firm in India.
Assuredly, we would not be the firm we are today without our team’s strength and unparalleled commitment to excellence, Parker Avery’s client relationships, and the many partnerships we have developed over the years.
Our team consists of forward-thinking industry executives and highly regarded consultants that bring senior-level experience, deep talent, and proven methodologies to global retail and consumer goods companies.
Just about every member of our consulting team has been inside the walls of retail and consumer goods companies as employees and executives—not just as consultants. As a result, we understand deeply how clients operate and what challenges they encounter. And this understanding is baked into everything we do when helping our clients improve their businesses.
What sets us apart from other retail consulting firms?
- We relentlessly focus our efforts to create an exciting and enjoyable atmosphere for our team to work, grow, and thrive.
- We trust each other to use experience, good judgment, and honesty to make decisions that create meaningful value for our clients.
- Our consultants are full-time employees of Parker Avery, allowing us to consistently bring teams with experience working together and with deep knowledge of our methodologies; we very selectively bring in subject matter experts, if needed.
- We don’t use big words that sound impressive but have little meaning.
- We communicate to our clients and our team: the good, the bad, and the ugly. And we communicate often.
- We don’t engage with clients to create stacks of deliverables that only collect dust.
Throughout our consulting firm’s history, we’ve had the pleasure of helping many long-term clients solve challenges and achieve meaningful business results. From major manufacturing companies to mid-size consumer brands and large Fortune 500 retailers, The Parker Avery Group partners with some of the industry’s most prominent retail and consumer brands including brands like At Home, Crate & Barrel, Foot Locker, L.L. Bean, T-Mobile, Williams-Sonoma, and more.
Goodwill Initiatives
The Parker Avery Group’s RetailROI Partnership
For several years, The Parker Avery Group has partnered with the Retail Orphan Initiative (RetailROI) organization to help orphans, children, and their communities. RetailROI’s efforts focus on Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Guatemala, South Africa, and other locations which have little access to necessities like clean water, clothing, schools, education, and skills programs.
Parker Avery continually supports RetailROI and gets physically involved in driving meaningful projects to improve the lives of underserved kids.
Academic Partnerships
Parker Avery supports the University of Rochester’s (UR) STEM For All summer research programs. The purpose of the program is to involve undergraduate students from UR and other Rochester area colleges and universities in research projects that combine mathematical techniques and real-life data science-related objectives. Particularly focused on recruiting participants who are women and members of underrepresented groups, the STEM for All program is sponsored by UR and directed by mathematics professor Alex Iosevich.
