About Upstream Advantage

Upstream Advantage advises professionals in the staffing and consulting industry on how to unlock individual and organizational value by thinking boldly and challenging conventional norms.

Unlocking organizational value begins with recognizing and embracing both internal and external challenges and opportunities, developing a clear and impactful strategy, creating a disciplined operating model, building the right leadership team, and achieving sustainable, profitable growth.

“I have led businesses of all sizes and complexities and have found that the most successful people and organizations are those that do not drift downstream. Instead, they take control, strategically navigate against the current, face adversity head-on, build strength, and ultimately differentiate themselves from their competition — that is where true value is created.”

– Emmett McGrath, Founder & CEO, Upstream Advantage
