Built at the intersection of institutional rigor and practical AI fluency.

Evergreen Meridian was founded by three practitioners who have led enterprise programs across global capital markets, wealth management, and M&A integration, and who use AI tools daily in the way we recommend our clients should.

Why we exist

A category defining consulting partner.

The financial services market is full of consultants who know the industry but do not understand AI, and AI consultants who understand the technology but do not know financial services. Evergreen Meridian is built at the intersection of both.

Three founders with institutional-grade financial services credentials and genuine, active AI fluency, capable of leading a program, delivering an integration, and helping a client build an adoption roadmap without switching firms.

Our differentiator is the combination of financial services domain expertise and AI fluency. We integrate AI directly into core workflows including trading operations, compliance monitoring, advisor productivity, M&A integration, wealth onboarding, and retirement plan administration. We understand the regulatory, data, and operational realities that generic AI consultants overlook, making our guidance materially more practical and valuable.

Mission

To be the most trusted program management and AI enablement partner in financial services.

Vision

To lead the evolution of financial services consulting by combining deep domain experience with purposeful AI enablement.

The founders

Three practitioners. One accountable team.

Our founding partners bring deep institutional experience with strong program and project management leadership. We apply disciplined AI tools and methodologies to enhance complex enterprise delivery, driving scalable outcomes with secure, responsible execution.
