Consulting

In early 2001, Jamie launched a successful management consulting firm, which grew into a multimillion-dollar company under her stewardship.  Wedgewood Group made the 2011 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest Growing Companies. A competitor approached Wedgewood in 2012, and an acquisition of the company was formalized in May 2012. The key to the acquisition was the result of assembling an effective, skilled, knowledgeable, and complementary team that produced annual double-digit revenue growth for 10+ years.
