How We Began

Two Visionaries.
One Purpose.

Meridian & Cole was founded in 2006 by Alexandra Meridian and James Cole — two professionals who shared a conviction that businesses deserved more than generic advice. They believed in strategies tailored with precision, delivered with honesty, and measured by real outcomes.

Starting from a small shared office with just four team members, they built the firm on a simple promise: to always act as a trusted partner, never just a vendor. That promise attracted loyal clients and talented professionals who felt the same way.

Today, Meridian & Cole has grown into a full-service business consulting powerhouse with over 85 specialists across strategy, finance, operations, and technology — yet we have never lost the personal touch that made us who we are.
