What our clients are saying

“Here’s what you get with 44 Degrees North Partners: Clear and practical thinking, earned through decades of hands-on experience. Susan and Kari didn’t build their careers as outside consultants; they were immersed in the work of building and running the communications function for a Fortune 50 company. They know strategy, and they know the hard, practical work of managing a company’s reputation with a broad range of stakeholders. And for all that, they are still a joy to work with! Humble, responsive, thorough and fair.”

Jim Knutsen, Chief Culture & Strategy Officer, evo

What our clients are saying

“I’ve known Susan and Kari for 25 years – first as colleagues, then as consultants at organizations where I serve on the board of directors and now as thought partners in my work. Their communications expertise, developed in a Fortune 50 environment and honed through their experience with a breadth of clients across sectors, comes through in the wide range of services they provide. Their high standards are evident in both the way they partner and the deliverables they produce.”

Laysha Ward, Author, Board Member, Speaker, Former C-Suite Leader (Fortune 50)

What our clients are saying

"Susan and Kari understand how critical it is to communicate effectively when driving significant change – and they know how to build a strategy and create messaging that resonates. Their experience and genuine interest in doing what’s best for the client make them an incredibly valuable partner for anyone leading change."

Emy Johnson, Chief Security Officer, Allina

What our clients are saying

"Our executive team had been meeting for months trying to articulate the pillars of our strategy, and most importantly, how to communicate to our team members in dozens of locations across the United States. Susan and Kari spent a single session with our executive team and within the week were able to help me communicate a simple but incredibly powerful strategy that begins with clear vision, purpose, and values. I’m so impressed with the questions they ask, the product they produce, and the genuine relationship we’ve formed. I regret not reaching out to them sooner!"

Reid "Huck" Finn, President, APi Inc.
