our story

Information Consulting Group was founded with a simple but powerful mission: Bring world-class M&A integration and carve-out expertise to mid-market private equity firms and portfolio companies—without the excessive cost, complexity, and detachment of traditional big consultancies.

After decades in management consulting and private equity advisory roles, Brady Knight saw a clear gap in the market. Large firms had the playbooks, but their cookie-cutter models, oversized teams, and inflated fees often left clients frustrated. Smaller companies and mid-market portfolio firms needed the same caliber of strategic thinking and operational discipline—but delivered in a more agile, collaborative, and cost-effective way.

In 2020, ICG was launched to fill that gap—combining enterprise-grade capabilities with the personal attention and flexibility of a boutique consultancy.

Our Approach

At ICG, we believe the best consulting partnerships aren’t about parachuting in with a thick deck and walking away.

They’re about rolling up our sleeves, integrating with your team, and building capabilities that last well beyond the project.

We bring a structured methodology refined through years of enterprise-level engagements, but we adapt it to your unique business, team capacity, and operational reality. Our work is guided by a few core principles:

  • Hands-On Leadership: Every engagement is personally led by Brady Knight—not delegated to junior associates.

  • Right-Sized Expertise: We design teams and scopes that match the needs of the project, not the billing goals of a large consultancy.

  • Collaboration First: We embed ourselves with your people to co-create solutions and transfer knowledge.

  • Execution with Discipline: Our deliverables aren’t theoretical—they’re actionable and backed by detailed execution plans.
