INFORMATION SERVICES CONSULTING
Insight You Can Build On
Stillwaters Group is an information services consulting firm. We work with founders, operators, and investors to build scalable, global businesses that deliver high-quality data, content, and insight.
01
Operations Consulting
We help clients design and scale their operating models for growth. This includes defining a global delivery strategy, structuring teams effectively, planning hiring roadmaps, streamlining workflows, and building performance systems that create accountability and efficiency. Whether you're setting up a new function or refining an existing one, we bring clarity to the structure behind your business.
02
Product & Data Strategy
We support the development of high-quality data and content products. From mapping the collection-to-delivery workflow to defining source strategies, quality assurance protocols, metadata standards, and taxonomy systems, we help companies deliver reliable, scalable products. Our experience spans financial data, ESG, research content, and more.
03
Technology Advisory
We guide clients in building the right technology backbone for their business. This includes shaping the product roadmap, evaluating build-vs-buy options, selecting vendors or partners, and helping teams plan internal tools, prototypes, and MVPs. Our goal is to help clients build systems that are robust, adaptable, and fit for scale.
04
Execution Support
For teams that need execution capacity—not just advice—we step in with experienced hands. We help set up and manage dedicated offshore teams, provide interim leadership to fill capability gaps, and deliver projects through a build-operate-transfer model. We also help document processes and train teams for long-term success.
ABOUT US
Stillwaters Group is a consulting and execution partner for information services companies.

We've done it ourselves, and we now help others do it better.
WHY STILLWATERS
Battle-Tested Blueprints. Built for Scale.
In fast-moving businesses, it’s easy to chase noise. We bring focus. While others react, we listen. We think clearly, move deliberately, and help ambitious teams build with confidence.
01
We turn ambition into structured execution.
Many teams have bold visions but lack the systems and clarity to scale. We bring the structure, processes, and discipline needed to turn ideas into outcomes.
02
We’ve built what you’re trying to build.
We come from the world of information services—data products, research platforms, technology infrastructure, global teams. We bring firsthand experience, not theory.
03
We don’t just advise - we help you deliver.
Our work goes beyond strategy decks. We roll up our sleeves, fill capability gaps, set up teams, and see things through to delivery.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Early-Stage Startups
We work with early-stage startups building new platforms, helping them set the right foundation for product, operations, and scale from day one. Our guidance ensures they avoid common pitfalls and move quickly with confidence
Private Equity-Backed Businesses
We support private equity-backed businesses that need to scale rapidly and efficiently. Whether it’s building offshore delivery teams, redesigning workflows, or strengthening the operating model, we bring clarity and execution to the scale-up journey.
Established Research and Data Firms
We also collaborate with established research and data firms undergoing modernization. From digitizing legacy processes to upgrading data infrastructure and launching new products, we help transform the way they operate and deliver.
HOW DO WE WORK
Partnerships Built for Progress
At Stillwaters, we believe that how we work is just as important as what we do. We adapt to the stage and shape of your business - bringing the right mix of strategy, structure, and execution to every engagement.
01
Advisory Projects
Focused, time-bound engagements designed to solve specific challenges. We help you define the problem, chart the path forward, and leave you with actionable next steps. Ideal for companies needing clarity on strategy, operating model design, or product direction.
02
Ongoing Support
For teams navigating continuous growth or transformation, we act as a strategic partner on retainer. We stay close to your team, advise as you execute, and help steer critical decisions with long-term impact. Think of us as a steady hand in your corner.
03
Execution Pods
When you need more than advice, we step in to help you get things done. We set up and manage delivery pods - specialist teams that embed within your business to execute core functions or projects. Whether it’s data operations, content production, or tech delivery, we provide the people, process, and oversight to drive outcomes.
04
Bespoke Partnerships
Some needs don’t fit a standard model. We design custom engagements around your unique context - whether that means stepping in as a fractional leader, co-building a new business unit, or quietly running a function on your behalf. These high-trust, high-impact partnerships are shaped by your goals and powered by our depth.
GREAT IDEAS ONLY GO SO FAR WITHOUT EXECUTION
At Stillwaters, we bring calm to complexity and structure to ambition. Whether you're building from scratch or scaling fast, we help you get it right. Stillwaters was built by operators, not career consultants. We've sat in your seat. We know what works. That means less theory, more action - and a steady partner by your side.
