Network

Our Unfair Advantage: People

HEIST is built on a living network of the world’s most talented practitioners.

Not a bench
Not a directory
A curated graph of trusted collaborators


Who’s in the Network

  • Senior designers, researchers, strategists, technologists, writers

  • People who have shipped at the highest levels

  • People who are selective about what they say yes to

  • People often unavailable to traditional consultancies

Our collaborators have led work for organizations including:
Microsoft · Amazon · Google · Apple · NASA · JPL · The New York Times · Nike


Graphs, Not Hierarchies

Traditional firms are pyramids.
HEIST is a network graph.

Each project forms a temporary sub-graph:

  • Exactly the right roles

  • Proven collaboration paths

  • No excess structure

When the work is done, the graph dissolves—cleanly.
