The team at Ripple Effect shares a collective dedication to the mantra 'Work Smarter. Perform Better.®', a principle that guides their approach to solving complex challenges for federal, private, and non-profit clients, with a special focus on health, science, and research.

The core of Ripple Effect's narrative is its people. The company invests heavily in its team, fostering an environment of respect, transparency, and continuous growth. They believe that a fulfilling career is more than just a salary; it's a holistic experience that supports an individual's lifestyle and aspirations. This is reflected in their tailored 'Total Rewards' package, which offers flexibility in work arrangements and personalized benefits. The company's leadership team, including founder Amy Bielski and COO Jennifer Pohlhaus, champion a 'progress not perfection' and 'fail forward' mindset, encouraging innovation and adaptability. By building a foundation of trust and providing the tools and opportunities for professional development, Ripple Effect empowers its employees to not only meet but exceed client expectations, contributing to the health, safety, and prosperity of the nation through their dedicated work.
