Heritage
Founded in 1992
The name goes back to 1992, when my parents founded the original McDermott Associates. They were independent consultants in filing and document management, helping companies like HSBC, British Airways, Ernst & Young, and ICI through the shift from paper to digital. The company wound up about fifteen years ago, but the name felt right for a new chapter. They helped companies through one era of change. I'm doing the same with the next one.
Let's discuss what's next.
Whether you're looking for board advisory, product strategy, or executive guidance, I'm always open to a conversation.
