Slalom, a Seattle-based global business and nonprofit consulting firm with more than $1 billion in revenues, is landing in Miami-Dade.
The firm, whose clients include Tropical Smoothie, Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW) and the American Cancer Society, will also open offices in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando and Jacksonville. In a release, the company said it plans to employ 600 people statewide, and as many as 200 would be located in its Miami-area office.
“When we first started planning Slalom’s Florida expansion, anchoring our office in Miami was a perfect fit,” Troy Johnson, Slalom’s chief growth officer and co-founder, said in a statement.
The Miami-Dade Beacon Council recruited the firm, which is being supported in its expansion by Enterprise Florida; no financial incentives were involved. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez and Beacon President and CEO Michael Finney welcomed the company in a statement.
