Before founding MindShare Consulting in 2006, McLaughlin was a partner with Deloitte Consulting, where he spent more than two decades managing consulting projects, developing long-term client relationships, and building profitable consulting practices. He has worked extensively with clients, from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies.
He has successfully built consulting practices from the ground up, and also led a practice of more than 800 consultants as a Managing Partner for Deloitte. In that role, he was responsible for all facets of practice management, including marketing, sales, service delivery, financial management, recruiting, compensation planning, performance management, and business planning.
Over the years, he has coached hundreds of experienced and new professionals on how to create a market presence, deliver profitable work, and build the foundation for an extraordinary career. As a result of that work, McLaughlin developed The Path to Profit, a framework for helping professionals and firm owners achieve success in the professional services business.
