Our Story
Our consistent growth over the years is a testament to our clients, and their success is the barometer by which we measure our own.
Since 1975, CMA has helped our clients triumph over internal business roadblocks by evaluating and refining the way their people work, interact, learn and grow within their organization.
Founded by Nick Colarelli, Ph.D. as Colarelli and Associates, Inc., the company was joined by partner Sam Meyer in 1986. Today, managing partners Dan Bean, MA, MBA and Joe Hoffman, Ph.D. (who acquired the firm in January 1998) shepherd the success of our 400+ clients from around the globe, including publicly traded, privately held, nonprofit and family-owned businesses across a huge array of industries.
We will soon enter the next chapter in our business, as we implement our very own succession plan. We’re thrilled to announce that Terence Bostic, Jennifer Nguyen, and Jami Wolfe will be taking over as owners in 2020, bringing our clients the same level of passionate service we’ve always provided.
While our service offerings have evolved over the years to meet the needs of our diverse client base, our guiding philosophy of The Power of Alignment ® continues to provide the framework for everything we do: align people with the organization while aligning the organization with its marketplace.
