One on One with ARRYVE's Bill Helming

After establishing its presence in the Pacific Northwest, Bellevue, Wash.-based ARRYVE Consulting, a 2011 Consulting magazine Small Jewel, recently tapped operational strategy leader Bill Helming as Managing Director of its new Boston office. As a partner who led the Life Sciences practice at PRTM, where he worked for 21 years before it became a division of PwC, Helming's diverse background brings a lot to the table to help ARRYVE bring its unique model to the East Coast. Companies are facing unprecedented levels of disruption in every conceivable area, from new technologies to new ways of doing business, and are looking for a roadmap to future-proof their business, Helming says.

Consulting: Tell us about what your role at ARRYVE will consist of day-to-day.

Helming: I'll be really focused on integrating ARRYVE's unique way doing business into a city as dynamic and forward-thinking as Boston. We target high-intensity, high-impact work that accelerates people, projects and organizations to what we call a state of future-readiness, which is already getting a warm reception. After working in Boston for many years, I'm convinced there is a real opportunity here. On a day-to-day basis, I'll focus on building a client base of companies that value how we work and a team that lives the ARRYVE DNA. It's important to us that we stay true to the future-ready philosophy, proven methodologies, and delivery style that our clients tell us they want.
