Sand Cherry joins Wavestone
Sand Cherry is joining Wavestone, a global consulting firm operating at the intersection of business and technology. This combination marks an exciting new chapter for Sand Cherry, expanding the capabilities and international reach we can bring to our clients while building on the relationships, expertise and culture that have defined our firm for 25 years.
Wavestone is a global consulting firm with approximately 6,000 employees across Europe and North America, combining business, transformation and technology expertise. Its capabilities, particularly in AI and Cybersecurity, complement Sand Cherry’s deep industry expertise, long-standing client relationships and strong track record in complex business transformation.
Together, the two firms will operate at the intersection of business and technology, combining Sand Cherry‘s deep understanding of its clients’ industries and transformation challenges with Wavestone’s international scale and technology capabilities.
The combination will bring Wavestone’s North American workforce to approximately 370 employees across key cities including Dallas, Denver, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Toronto and Washington, D.C. It will also strengthen the combined firm’s ability to serve large enterprises across Financial Services, Life Sciences & Healthcare, Technology and Broadband, and Energy, Utilities & Infrastructure.
For Sand Cherry, this combination provides access to broader capabilities and an international platform while preserving what has made the firm successful: close client relationships, an entrepreneurial mindset, a strong commitment to results and a culture centered on its people.
John Calhoon, CEO of Sand Cherry, said: “Joining Wavestone opens a new chapter for Sand Cherry. It will enable us to give our clients access to complementary expertise and a broader international presence, while preserving what defines us: close relationships with our clients, the highest standard of performance for our teams, unwavering commitment to client results and continued dedication to our strong culture, that prioritizes positive professional work experience, development and growth.”
Reza Maghsoudnia, Strategic Development Director at Wavestone, added: “The acquisition of Sand Cherry marks an important milestone in Wavestone’s expansion in the United States. We share the same commitment to quality, a strong entrepreneurial culture, and the ambition to support our clients through their most strategic transformations. By joining forces, we are strengthening our ability to offer large US companies a combination of deep industry expertise and technology excellence.”
We are excited about this next chapter and look forward to what we will build together with Wavestone.
For our clients, there is no change to how we work with you. You can continue to count on the same teams, the same close relationships and the same commitment to delivering results, now with the opportunity to draw on Wavestone’s broader capabilities and international reach.
We would like to thank our clients for their continued trust and partnership over the years. We’ll be sharing more in the coming weeks about the new opportunities this combination will create for our clients and the future of Sand Cherry.
