The Window

30,000 feet in the sky, with clouds drifting across the window of an MD-80, the idea for Arpeggio Consulting Group was born in 2016.

That year, Drew found himself frequently jet-setting across the country to coach senior corporate aerospace leaders on fundamental operations principles. He recognized that while the industry was investing heavily in new technology and talent, it was still plagued by inefficient processes that kept brilliant engineers from scaling their innovations.

While others got lost in technical details, Drew saw that the solution wasn't more sophistication—it was simplification. If these fundamental problems existed at major corporations, what about the innovative startups trying to revolutionize the industry?

Our mission is to transform how aerospace companies scale.

We help emerging innovators become household names while enabling legacy companies to maintain their edge—measuring our success by how efficiently we can embed processes and mindsets that allow our clients to soar independently.

Values

  • We don't just accept challenges—we actively seek them out. Complex problems excite us because they represent opportunities for transformation. We have the courage to ask fundamental questions others shy away from and to challenge conventional wisdom when it's holding our clients back.

  • We believe the real breakthroughs happen when you zoom out, connect the dots, and address the root causes—not just the symptoms. Our systems-thinking approach allows us to see how every part of your operation influences the whole. By aligning processes, people, and technologies, we help you build integrated solutions that drive lasting, scalable impact—not just surface-level fixes.

  • We transform complexity into clarity. We take pride in our ability to untangle the most complex operational challenges into solvable pieces. By breaking down barriers and simplifying systems, we help our clients focus on what they do best—innovating and creating revolutionary aerospace technologies.

  • We do what we say we will do. Every decision we make is guided by what's right—for our clients, our team, and the industry as a whole. We believe that ethical business practices and transparent partnerships are crucial for sustainable success. When faced with difficult choices, we choose the path of integrity every time, even when it's not the easiest route.

  • From the CEO to the shop floor operator, each person plays a crucial part in making a business run smoothly. We believe that treating everyone with respect isn't just about being nice—it's about recognizing that operational excellence can only be achieved when every team member, regardless of title, is empowered to contribute their unique expertise.

  • Our clients are the hero of the story - success means making ourselves unnecessary. We're not above rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty—no task is too small when it serves our clients' goals. We believe true expertise shows itself through results, not titles or presentations.

  • We focus on outcomes not activity. We're not consultants who deliver a report and disappear—we're partners invested in your long-term success. We measure our achievement by how well we enable our clients to succeed independently, while remaining ready to help tackle their next challenge.

  • We believe sustainable progress is more effective than hustle culture. By orchestrating seamless operations and fostering long-term mindset changes, we help our clients achieve breakthrough improvements that stand the test of time.
