Background

You can’t take a course for this line of work. Sure, we have the requisite degrees and certifications, but when you are dealing with people’s careers and livelihoods, proven success and experience is critical.

Bluewater Partner Mark Debinski launched Bluewater in 2010 after participating in the leadership teams of a handful of family businesses of closely held firms. It is in these roles the craft is mastered, mettle is tested, and the results ultimately speak for themselves. Bluewater Managing Partner Lindsey Weigle joined Bluewater in 2012, and with a small band of Bluewater professionals have made a positive and lasting difference in hundreds of businesses and thousands of lives.

While we have more tools that you can shake a stick at, our premise is simple when working with our clients: understand the Commander’s Intent or burning platform, develop a thoughtful approach based upon experience and resources needed and implement through our signature candor with respect approach.
