What makes us unique
Tangible impact in a sea of PowerPoint slides
Navigating profound change – ranging from hypergrowth and leadership transition to business transformation and distress – requires a unique skillset that is often lacking at companies around these key inflection points.
That gap is compounded by a lack of multi-million dollar consulting budgets and an inability to wait 6-12 months to hire a unicorn CxO.
Yet the reality remains that sponsors, CEOs and boards have ambitious agendas and inaction is not a viable path forward.
Blair Hall Partners was founded to solve this intractable problem.
We are a force multiplier for company leadership and serve as an outsourced portfolio operations group for private equity firms lacking sufficient capabilities in-house.
Perhaps most importantly, because we have led cross-functional organizations and owned complex P&Ls as an operator we have a unique understanding of the challenges involved in landing an aggressive change agenda while continuing to deliver financial results.

About us
We fundamentally believe profound value creation necessitates ‘in the trenches’ collaboration with an organization’s people. Shiny decks and models are nice, but our secret sauce is the ability to pair the best of what a big management consulting firm offers with the tangible impact only a seasoned operator can bring.
Founder Ryan Watson has a unique twenty year track record of value creation in some of the most demanding corporate environments, ranging from Amazon, Kraft Heinz, Goldman Sachs and Boston Consulting Group to VC-backed growth-stage disruptors and distressed middle market companies. He combines the strategic horsepower of a BCG Partner, the commercial mindset of a P&L owner, and the deep domain expertise of an executive who has led organizations of 150+ across multiple functions.
