Why We Built a Different Kind of Consulting Firm

In a consulting landscape dominated by bloated corporate overhead and static strategy decks, how do you build a model that actually drives sustainable results?

In this episode of Green Talk, Infinite Green founders Jon Blum and Scott McIntyre join Valerie Rodriguez to pull back the curtain on the Infinite Green origin story. Born out of the turbulence of the 2008 economic landscape, Infinite Green was built on a simple, provocative realization: organizations don’t need more junior analysts charging premium billable hours—they need Standout Talent to help them bridge the gap between high-level Customer Experience (CX) and real Operational Execution. In this conversation, we explore:

  • Forged in Crisis: How launching during the 2008 financial downturn shaped our agile, execution-first methodology.
  • The Origin of Infinite Green: What the name actually stands for and why “green means go”.
  • The Anti-Big-4 Approach: Why we prioritize sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with teams to remove operational barriers over cramming in rigid corporate business models.
  • Real-World Reality Checks: Lessons learned from Best Buy and Intuit on why observing end-user experiences matters more than looking at whitewashed executive reporting.
  • Strategy vs. Execution: Why 90% of transformation isn’t coming up with “monster ideas,” but making existing vision practical and executable for the entire organization. At Infinite Green, we choose to do things curiously different.

We don’t just advise from the sidelines—we bring the horsepower, technology alignment, and partnership required to turn big ideas into proven results.
