Our Company Values

With our vision to do better, we continuously seek to achieve this through our unwavering principles.

BIG IDEAS

A solution is no more effective than the (big) ideas on which it is built. We are strategic thinkers with a propensity toward creativity. We believe in “better” and in our power to develop solutions that are both innovative and sustainable. 

AUTHENTICITY

Someone once told us, above all else, “be fearlessly authentic.” To us, fearless authenticity is an exercise of integrity. This means infusing our values into what we do, how we do it, and ensuring who we work with reflects our values. The energy we bring to our projects and the genuine love of what we do makes a difference in our client’s success, and we bring this authenticity to every engagement.

EMPOWERMENT

Our most important contribution to our clients is our ability to identify and remove roadblocks. We measure our success by our client’s ability to operate and grow independently of us. To that end, we work to establish trust with and among your team members and share our knowledge to build confidence and support you in doing your big things.  

Collaboration

We believe in the power of people to change the world and the way that the world does business. Building relationships with your team is at the center of everything we do. We are committed to thoroughly understanding your team and your organization’s unique triumphs and challenges. That means knowing where you’ve been, where you are today, and where you’re going. 

PERSEVERANCE

The difference between success and failure frequently comes down to a single factor: perseverance. We are unwavering in our commitment to our clients to get the job done, no matter the circumstances. If it’s hard, we’ll work that much harder. And we never give up.

THE FOUNDING STORY

Where It All Began

Atrómitos was established in September 2016 by Michealle Gady, Founder, President & CEO, as a boutique consulting firm with the imperative mission of creating healthier, more resilient, and more equitable communities. The firm consists of a small team of experts working to effect real change for and alongside diverse innovators, entrepreneurs, and health and community champions. Atrómitos is Greek for “Fearless,” This word encompasses what we strive to accomplish for our clients – to provide “fearless” strategic guidance and support. The term is also something of a talisman for the firm, reminding us that to be great, one must be fearless.

After working in health law and policy for decades in traditional professional settings, Michealle saw an opportunity to change the work model to fit modern workers better–particularly professional women. After years of helping others create something new, she wanted to design and build something that would enable professionals to work with organizations doing truly wonderful work alongside people fearlessly committed to making things better in their communities. Importantly, Michealle sought to create a work environment that values and respects employees’ intelligence, appreciates their work, and enables them to give back to their communities. In this work environment, team members have the flexibility and autonomy to give their best work and dedicate time to care for themselves and their families.

After working for a large consulting firm, Michealle wanted the flexibility to structure financial arrangements with clients that ensured access to needed support to make meaningful community changes. Not all health and human services organizations can afford to hire costly consultants. Still, they often need external expertise and additional “hands” to design, implement, operationalize, and maintain initiatives and programs that impact people’s health and well-being. As the company’s owner, Michealle can focus on the mission and find alternative financial arrangements that ensure small, community-based health or human services organizations have the support they need.

Our value proposition is first, last, and always our people. Atrómitos has assembled a small and mighty team of dedicated professionals from diverse backgrounds who, time and again, deliver results without unnecessary complexity or distraction. We have decades of experience at the top levels of government, with dynamic nonprofit organizations, and in the private sector. We have the technical and practical operational expertise needed to drive change. Most importantly, each team member is passionately and fearlessly committed to creating healthier, more resilient, and more equitable communities.
