Strong Tower Consulting, a Washington-state based management-consulting firm, was named a finalist for the Microsoft Supplier Prestige Awards for the second straight year (2023, 2024). As a Certified Disability-Owned Business Enterprise (DOBE) and a Women Owned Business Enterprise, Strong Tower was recognized in 2024 as one of the top five “Diverse-Owned Suppliers of the Year” by Microsoft for its unique Inclusion Consulting® model – defined by a dedication to trustworthy client service and the power of diversity to solve problems.
In 2024, Strong Tower continues to expand and diversify its projects at Microsoft, as well as other Fortune 500s, to meet the growing demand for strategic management consulting in today’s rapidly changing and on-demand marketplace.
“Microsoft is an absolute champion of diversity and disability inclusion in the workplace, so being recognized twice as a finalist for their Supplier Prestige Awards is humbling and motivates us to stay true to our company values,” said Strong Tower Partner Lorna Croswell. “By encouraging our employees to bring their whole self to work each day, we’ve created a positive, supportive culture, which in turn creates amazing results for our clients.”
With a 75% female team, Strong Tower has implemented programs to support women such as the Women’s Leadership and Development Group and Returning Caregivers program, which provide formal and informal mentorship and company-wide initiatives ensuring each woman at Strong Tower can reach her full potential.
Strong Tower also operates as a 100% carbon neutral firm, encouraging lower carbon work patterns while offsetting transportation and energy use by investing in clean energy programs and planting one tree for every month worked by each of the firm’s team members.
Since 2019, Strong Tower has been recognized for several other key awards including Best Places to Work in Consulting – Best Companies Group (2024), Disability:IN Supplier of the Year (2019), Corporate Champion for Economic Development (2021) – The Puget Sound Business Journal, Washington State’s “100 Best Companies To Work For” (2021, 2022, 2023) – Seattle Business magazine, Washington’s Most Equitable Workplace (2020) – The Puget Sound Business Journal.
