About Us - Slalom
Slalom is a purpose-led, global business and technology consulting company. From strategy to implementation, our approach is fiercely human. In eight countries and 53 markets, we deeply understand our customers—and their customers—to deliver practical, end-to-end solutions that drive meaningful impact. Backed by close partnerships with over 700 leading technology providers, our 10,000+ strong team helps people and organisations dream bigger, move faster, and build better tomorrows for all.
We’re honoured to be consistently recognised as a great place to work—named one of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® from 2016 to 2024, and featured on Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work list from 2016 to 2023.
