Saint Mary’s first
student-run strategy consultancy.
The Gael Group partners with businesses, startups, nonprofits, and organizations to tackle focused challenges through research, strategy, and analysis.
A different kind of
consulting partner.
We bring together motivated Saint Mary’s students, structured consulting methods, and a practical approach to problem-solving. Our teams are built to dig into a question, understand the business, and deliver work that gives clients a clearer path forward.
For organizations, that means an outside perspective without the overhead of a traditional consulting engagement. For our students, it means learning how real businesses work.
