Why MPK&D

Customized, quality consultation for higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations.

We’ve been there.

Three of our principals have been university presidents.
All of our consultants have been senior leaders in higher ed or nonprofits.

We get it.

We understand today’s challenges.
We also know that your needs are distinct.

We listen.

We get to know you and your institution—genuinely.
Our approaches and solutions are tailored to your needs.

We find solutions—together.

You will always work with one of our principals. We will never delegate your success.
Whether it’s a single advisor or a team with specific skills, we connect just the right professionals to your projects.

We provide our expertise every step of the way, and we respect you and your team as partners. Our work runs the spectrum from full collaboration to oversight and direction, depending on client needs and working styles.

This is how we work—how we’ve always worked: MPK&D’s Philosophy Statement

Who we are

Supporting Leaders.
Strengthening Institutions.
Fulfilling Mission.

MPK&D’s experienced team of higher education leaders delivers practical and creative solutions to some of the most complex challenges facing institutions today.

From the onboarding and start-up of new presidents to ensure successful institutional transitions—to executive coaching, programs for student retention and success, strategic finance guidance, media training and more, MPK&D provides comprehensive support to our clients.

Experience. Competence. Integrity. Confidentiality.

What our clients say

  • “I highly recommend MPK&D based on the experience of the firm, the former presidents who have ‘been there and done that,’ and their ability to provide a confidential perspective.”
