About Glenbrook

Founded in 2001, Glenbrook is a unique payments consulting and research firm that brings to our financial services and financial technology clients the unique combination of our specialized skills in payments, many years of hands-on experience in the field, and our network of professional relationships.

Team

Each team member at Glenbrook is both a consultant and an analyst with unmatched insight and knowledge of financial services technologies. As analysts, we track a number of related markets to assess trends, surface opportunities, and identify threats to our clients in the financial services industry. As consultants, we focus our knowledge and real-world experience on your specific needs, offering recommendations that reflect your situation.

We have senior-level experience with some of the top firms in the financial services and technology industries, including Accenture, Amazon.com, Citibank, Digital Equipment, First Data, IBM, McKinsey, and Visa. We have worked extensively with startups and spinoffs, helping them get to market quickly and penetrate the financial services marketplace. Our strong relationships with senior management in financial services, Internet infrastructure, and security firms allows us to tap non-public sources of information to form a more complete assessment.

What We Do

Through consulting services, the firm helps clients with strategy definition, product development, and the application of technology to solve leading edge problems in the financial services industry.

Through research, the firm offers value-added opinion, analysis, and insight into the pressing issues of the financial services industry. Our analysts provide decision makers with straightforward explanations of pressing industry issues, coupled with insightful, concise recommendations for action. We offer a broad industry perspective that reflects opportunity, urgency, competitive pressures, and the likelihood of success.

Our Approach

Glenbrook works with a dedicated focus at the principal level -- unlike many research and advisory firms that utilize more junior staff to address your needs. This senior-level attention, combined with distinctive domain expertise in payments and supporting technologies, a unique blend of strategic and tactical skills, and a deep network of resources provides a combination that maximizes success for our clients. In addition to the dedicated focus of our principals, we can augment with external resources managed by Glenbrook to provide the most cost-effective engagements appropriate to your needs.
