A two-person consultancy, built on time spent inside the organizations we now build for.
9 Pebble Consulting was founded by Wendy Harrell and Kyle Burford after years spent building tools from the inside — at The Nature Conservancy, in public media, and in consumer product marketing. That mix of nonprofit, mission-driven and commercial experience is what shapes how we work with clients today: real discovery, tech-agnostic builds, and staying reachable long after launch.
