Our Values

The Ethos of Propeller

Eight ethos guide our work and serve as the foundation of our culture. That begins with our commitment to people which manifests itself in our interactions with colleagues, clients, and the community. Commit to People: We've made an enduring commitment to our colleagues, clients, and communities to nurture trust through meaningful interactions, refusing to sacrifice ethics for mere profit. Serve Exceptionally: Service is the heart of our business. We champion patience, humility, and foresight to build trust and grant you peace of mind that you're in the right hands. Because service is at the heart of our business, so are you and your needs. Do Good Work: Good work requires a love of what you do. It requires insatiable curiosity, an ability to see beyond what's now to uncover what's next. We take action to improve what's around us. Make It About Them: Clients want tangible results and an effortless experience. This means shifting the focus from the challenges and merits of our work to the larger goal of helping clients succeed. Their success is your success. Harness Grit: Easy is boring. Our individual and collective grit is what drives our exceptional results and keeps us coming back for more. Uplift Our Communities: We cultivate lasting connections in our communities. By partnering with non-profits, we create a positive impact, inspire change, and help make a difference for our neighbors in need. Embrace Differences: Our differences are what collectively make us stronger. We foster an inclusive culture where every person is heard, seen, appreciated, and provided equal opportunities to succeed. Drive Forward: With a laser focus on igniting and sustaining momentum, we bring the energy, the drive, and the smarts to move projects forward — no matter the challenges we find along the way.

We're focused on the intersection of technology, sustainability, and human-centric consulting, ensuring that people remain at the core of every decision. Our commitment to impact isn't separate from how we work—it's embedded in it. Our impact isn't limited to client work. Whether we're improving processes, investing in communities, or engaging our people, we're focused on making a measurable difference — inside and outside the firm. 67% of employees participated in Uplift community engagement in 2024. 32% of the company is employee-owned as of 2025.

We help our clients reach beyond just their bottom line and achieve a greater good.

Community & Impact

Uplift: Building a Better Future Together

Serving our local communities has been a focus since our founding. This commitment to community and corporate responsibility reflects the shared values of our employees. Through our Uplift program, our people can do good work in their communities and make a lasting impact by leveraging their business acumen and problem-solving skills to support nonprofit partners. We uplift organizations through pro bono strategy, professional development, and direct service. We live in the communities we work in. This local model means we have a vested interest in the well-being of our community and our neighbors. In each of our local offices, we nurture ongoing relationships with local nonprofits to build a better future together for our communities. We're honored to be able to offer pro bono services, volunteer hours, and financial sponsorship to nonprofits in our local communities. Each year, Uplift connects Propeller's people and expertise with nonprofits and community-based organizations to help move their missions forward. In 2024, we deepened that commitment through hands-on support, meaningful knowledge sharing, and measurable impact. Our community efforts are 100% employee-led. When individuals come together to solve some of our most fundamental problems as a community, it is even more powerful.

Inclusion & Diversity

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Our commitment to people is one of our founding values, a cultural tenet that informs our decisions and our growth — as a firm and as individuals. An inclusive culture is good for people. A diverse workforce is good for business. Together, it enables us to deliver more creative and durable outcomes with individuals who feel heard, supported, and safe to show up and contribute as their authentic selves. Propeller's people-first approach fosters acceptance, authenticity, and individuality. We know that inclusive, diverse teams create stronger outcomes, and we're committed to building a culture where different backgrounds and perspectives are not just welcomed but amplified. Valuing and giving a voice to diverse perspectives is what brings us together and builds a thriving culture. From increased innovation to improved decision-making to better financial performance, research has shown time and time again that a diverse workforce generates better outcomes for all. Expanding diversity within Propeller is one of our primary goals. We are focusing on increasing the representation of Black, Indigenous, and people of color across our leadership, consultant teams, and applicant pool. We are committed to fostering a culture where employees can be their authentic selves and do their best work. Equity and inclusion practices are never done, it is a continual work in progress. We are working to embed diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging into the organization. This includes our values, ways of working, and how we measure success. It is not just a human resources priority — it is a shared commitment and organizational imperative that we are collectively responsible for.
