About Us

The Transformational Growth Company

Founded over lunch in New York in 1961 by Lore A. Frost and Daniel M. Sullivan, Frost & Sullivan set out to bring together the brightest business minds in the world to track emerging trends and translate them into growth. Six decades later, we have grown into a globally recognized leader in growth intelligence and advisory, operating across 45 offices on every major continent and spanning virtually every industry. What began as a shared conviction — that vision is the art of seeing things invisible — has matured into a proprietary Transformation Growth Engine and a comprehensive Transformational Growth Journey that guides companies, governments, and investors through the disruptions reshaping the world. With more than 1,200 experts, growth advisors, and visionaries working as one global family, we are exclusively focused on a single mission: generating, evaluating, and implementing the powerful growth opportunities that allow our partners to not merely survive transformation, but to lead it.

Who we are

A Global Family of Growth Experts, Advisors, and Visionaries

We are Growth Coaches, sector analysts, visionary innovators, and strategic partners — a diverse community of over 1,200 professionals united across 45 global offices by a shared passion for growth. Every person at Frost & Sullivan, from our Executive Board and Partner Team to our Growth Coaches and sector experts, is aligned around the same corporate values and the same drive to help clients understand, plan, and execute transformational growth strategies. We are organized not by hierarchy but by expertise — by industry verticals, career functions, geographies, and investor types — so that every client engagement draws on the precise blend of regional depth and global perspective their situation demands. We refer to ourselves as a global family because that is exactly what we are: a cross-cultural community that collaborates at every level, shares best practices across borders, and grows together. From our founding partners to our Alumni Hall of Fame and beyond, the people of Frost & Sullivan are the engine behind every Growth Opportunity we create.

What we do

Powering the Transformational Growth Journey

We provide three interconnected categories of critical service — Growth Opportunity Analytics, Growth Advisory, and Growth Coaching — all powered by our proprietary Transformation Growth Engine. Through our Transformational Growth Journey framework, we help clients map their ecosystem, identify and prioritize the top transformations impacting their business, generate a continuous pipeline of Growth Opportunities, benchmark competitive positioning with the Frost Radar™, and recognize best-in-class innovation through our Best Practices Awards program. Our Growth Advisory practice deploys 10 proven Growth Processes — from Competitive Strategy and New Product Development to Mergers & Acquisitions, Geographic Expansion, and Strategic Partnering — to translate insight into action. Our FROST AI Engine™, powered by HiDiAi™ (Human + Digital + Artificial Intelligence) and our Growth Vector™ platform, accelerates the discovery and evaluation of growth opportunities at scale. We also bring our community together through Growth Councils, Growth Innovation Leadership Councils, live events, and on-demand Growth Webinars — creating a global think tank for executives who are serious about winning.

Our Purpose

Helping Companies Survive Today While Planning for Tomorrow

Our purpose is deceptively simple and profoundly urgent: to help organizations survive today while planning for tomorrow. In a world reshaped by transformative megatrends, geopolitical chaos, disruptive technologies, aggressive competitive intensity, and the ubiquitous rise of artificial intelligence, standing still is not an option. Frost & Sullivan exists to give companies, governments, and investors the intelligence, frameworks, and partnership they need to see what is coming before it arrives — and to position themselves not as victims of disruption, but as its architects. Our vision is to support every client on their journey to visionary innovation and transformational growth, generating the growth opportunities that accelerate success, inspire leadership teams, and spark passion across the investor-customer-employee ecosystem. Growth velocity is how you win. We are here to make that velocity possible.

Our Values

We Are a Global Family

At Frost & Sullivan, we are a global family. Working and collaborating at all levels with people from across the globe is not just an operational reality — it is the foundation of our rich culture and the source of our greatest competitive advantage. Our Corporate Values define how we show up for each other, for our clients, and for the broader world. Every member of our team — regardless of geography, function, or seniority — is expected to embody these values within the organization and externally at every level of client engagement. We believe that a culture built on trust, intellectual curiosity, passion for growth, and genuine respect for the diversity of the global communities we serve is what enables us to deliver insights and strategies that are truly transformational. Our values are not aspirational posters on a wall — they are the daily operating principles of a team that has been growing together for over six decades.

Why working with us

Exclusively Focused on Growth — Nothing Else

What sets Frost & Sullivan apart is an unwavering, singular focus on growth — not consulting in the broadest sense, but the deliberate, structured, and continuously monitored pursuit of transformational growth opportunities. Our CEO's 360 Degree Perspective™ brings disciplined analysis and advisory services together to significantly enhance the accuracy of decision-making and lower the risk of implementing growth strategies. With 45 global offices providing regional expertise and a global perspective simultaneously, we cover the broadest spectrum of markets and technologies of any firm in our space — enabling clients to look outside their box and discover ideas they would never find alone. We work closely with clients' Growth Teams as trusted partners, not transient advisors, helping them generate new growth initiatives and leverage the full weight of Frost & Sullivan's assets to accelerate their trajectory. We also understand industry convergence deeply: the accelerating collision of disruptive technologies, megatrends, and new business models is disrupting the value chain of virtually every industry, and navigating that complexity requires a partner with analytical and advisory coverage across all six key perspectives. We are that partner.

Sustainability

Driving Transformations That Benefit Society at Large

Frost & Sullivan's commitment to sustainability extends from the intelligence we generate to the clients and governments we serve. Through our Energy & Environment practice and our dedicated Public Sector & Government advisory work, we actively empower organizations to drive transformations that benefit society at large — from the acceleration of green hydrogen and battery energy storage systems to smart city infrastructure, sustainable public finance, and environmental policy. We believe growth and sustainability are not competing imperatives but complementary ones: the most powerful and enduring growth opportunities are those that align economic momentum with positive societal outcomes. Our Frost & Sullivan Institute further extends this commitment beyond client work, channeling resources and research into initiatives designed to strengthen communities and create lasting, equitable impact across the geographies we serve.

Community & Impact

The Frost & Sullivan Institute and Our Community Outreach

Frost & Sullivan's community engagement goes well beyond advisory services. Through the Frost & Sullivan Institute, we channel our expertise and networks into programs designed to strengthen the social, economic, and educational fabric of the communities in which we operate. Our Growth & Leadership of Women (GLOW) program, launched in 2015, brings together a talented community of individuals to thrive in an environment that harnesses and supports both internal and external growth — connecting likeminded people who want to evolve the way we work and create business opportunities in the global industries we serve. We also convene thought leaders through our Growth Innovation Leadership Council and our Customer Engagement Leadership Council, creating ongoing forums where executives collaborate, share best practices, and build strategies together. Whether through live events, MindXChange programmes, or our global series of Growth Webinars, we invest continuously in the communities that power transformational change.

Inclusion & Diversity

The Diversity, Equality & Inclusion Alliance

Frost & Sullivan has formalized its commitment to equality through the Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Alliance — established to take direct action against the discrimination, injustice, and inequality that has run rampant across the globe for centuries. The Alliance is driven to dismantle the systemic challenges facing marginalized and disenfranchised groups, serving as a global resource and platform to further social, gender, and racial equality. It brings together partnerships with companies, governments, and individuals who combine resources to conduct research, foster conversations, and manage initiatives designed to enact real change. Internally, our GLOW programme champions a gender-diversified workforce, with women making up 46 percent of our Europe, Israel, and Africa workforce and an ongoing commitment to expanding female leadership at every level. We strive to accelerate gender parity at our events by elevating inspirational female thought leaders to keynote roles and ensuring equal voice across workshops and networking initiatives worldwide. Inclusion at Frost & Sullivan is not a programme — it is part of who we are as a global family.
