Chief Outsiders highlights scale and credibility through quantified proof points and process claims: more than 2,000 clients served, work with 300+ private equity firms, a reported 75 NPS score, and coverage across 70+ industries. It also emphasizes selective hiring (accepting less than 4% of applicants) and collaborative delivery through Growth Councils and the AI-enabled GrowthGears OS platform.
