About Northwind Consulting
Northwind Consulting is an IT services consultancy founded in 2009. We design, build and run software and data systems for mid-sized and large customers in logistics, retail, healthcare, energy and trade. We are headquartered in Austin, Texas, with offices in London and Pune, and we employ 412 people. Our fiscal year is the calendar year.
What we sell
We work under two commercial models:
| Model | How it works | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed fee | A set price for a defined scope, usually invoiced against milestones | Well-understood builds, such as the Acme customer portal |
| Time and materials | Customers pay for the effort consumed, at agreed rates | Discovery, advisory and evolving programmes |
Both models are governed by a Master Services Agreement (MSA) per customer and a Statement of Work (SOW) per project. See SOW process and Pricing guidelines.
Our customers
We currently serve six customers: Acme Corp, Globex Logistics, Initech Retail, Vandelay Imports, Stellar Health and Orion Energy. Each has a short page in the wiki, starting with Acme Corp.
Leadership
Northwind is led by CEO Elena Vasquez, with Priya Raman (CFO), Daniel Okafor (CTO), Sofia Lindqvist (Chief People Officer), Marcus Webb (General Counsel) and Frank Delgado (VP Delivery). See the organization overview for how teams are structured.
FY2026 at a glance

- Headcount plan: from 412 to 440 during the year.

How we like to work
- Be specific. Write down scope, assumptions and decisions.
- Be honest early. Raise risks in the weekly status report rather than at the milestone.
- Protect customer data. Security and confidentiality are part of every deliverable, see POL-IT-003 for access rules.
- Leave things better. Update the wiki when you learn something.
