At Boules Consulting, we value creativity, strong work-ethic, autonomy, reliability, growth of our team members, and work/life balance. We believe that leaders should be kind and invest in their people. Our team practices confident vulnerability, meaning we are equally confident about our strengths and our weaknesses.

For example, some current projects we’ve just wrapped up include managing an COVID-19 equity project, a $25M grant to bring electric vehicles into California, and a $160M economic development project design.
