OUR STORY

Built in the Midwest, for the work that matters.

Redpath Consulting Group was founded in 2008 in Minneapolis by Paul Selway and James Smale, with a simple idea: build a people-first professional-services firm in the Midwest — one with the energy and culture to draw a curious, diverse team and a genuinely different way of delivering consulting.

The name comes from a small village on the Scotland–England border that Paul traces his family to. Redpath means “reedy passage,” and ties to a family coat of arms: “Good rede is the path to success.” Good counsel, the right path — it's still how we think about the work.

Since then we've stayed focused on the nonprofit and education sectors, building scalable Salesforce solutions and the strategic support that keeps them useful. We aim to be a trusted, outcome-focused partner — and to stay close to the communities we serve.

THE REDPATH DIFFERENCE

What it's like to work with us.

The platform matters, but the partnership is what makes it stick. Three things shape every engagement we take on.

Senior people do the work

Our consultants, developers, and architects are U.S.-based and experienced. The people who scope your engagement are the same ones who build it — no junior-led delivery, no offshore hand-offs.

A culture built for good work

Redpath is a place where people are encouraged to be themselves, ask questions, and pursue the work that fits their skills. When the team has what it needs to do its best work, clients feel the difference.

Aligned to your mission

We start from what your organization is trying to do, not from a product demo. We help you make the right calls for your mission with an outcome-focused approach — and we treat your goals as our own.

OUR CORE VALUES

The values behind every engagement.

You're not just hiring a consulting firm. You're getting a partner who is passionate, high-performing, fair, and deeply committed to your success.

Trust

Trust is the foundation of any working relationship. From the first conversation through launch and the years after, we stay transparent, honest, and reliable — about what's working, what isn't, and what it will take.

Passion

We're advocates for the missions we work on, not just the systems behind them. We bring real care and energy to every project, and we treat your goals as our own.

High Performance

We set a high bar because the work matters. Our team is driven by a steady pursuit of quality — solutions that hold up in real use, not just in a demo.

Equity

We build for everyone the work touches. We approach each project with fairness in mind, so what we deliver is accessible and useful for every team and stakeholder involved.

OUR TEAM

A senior bench you can actually call.

We're a U.S.-based team of consultants, developers, and architects. The people who scope your engagement are the ones whose names show up on the Salesforce certifications — not just the proposals.
