About Chad Surprenant
Whether he’s steering ISG’s vision and business strategies or perfecting his swing on the golf course, Chad injects excellence into every pursuit. Though he was raised within the family business, his rule-breaking spirit emerged early, which is still present today as he champions the firm to do irrational things, take calculated risks, and outperform the competition.
Chad helped shape ISG’s unique approach to client relationships, its transition to employee ownership, and the organization’s subsequent growth. Equally comfortable proposing innovative business models as he is recommending the perfect wine, Chad’s leadership style is refreshingly dynamic.
