West Palm Beach, Florida — September 23, 2026
Brooks International, a global executive services firm, today announced it has taken the top honor in Consulting Magazine’s 2026 Best Firms to Work For awards. Brooks International ranked No. 1 in the Small Firm category, which encompasses firms with 51–249 billable consultants, and won four additional awards recognizing its leadership and employee experience. This marks the firm’s fifth consecutive year of recognition as a Best Firm to Work For.
In addition to its first-place ranking, Brooks International earned the following honors in its size category:
Consulting Magazine’s annual rankings are based on surveys completed by firms’ own consultants. The survey examines six areas of employee satisfaction: culture, career development, work-life balance, client engagement, compensation and benefits, and firm leadership. That employee perspective makes the awards a direct reflection of how consultants experience the organizations they work for.
“Taking first place is especially meaningful because it reflects the judgment of the people who know Brooks International best: our own professionals,” said Lui Damasceno, Chief Executive Officer of Brooks International. “Our standards for client performance require equally high standards for how we lead and support our people. We ask our teams to take ownership of complex business challenges, and we have an obligation to give them the guidance and opportunity to grow. That includes welcoming their perspectives and respecting the lives they lead beyond work.
“Each of these honors belongs to the people who build our culture every day. They earn our clients’ trust while making time to support a colleague or help someone develop the confidence to lead. I am proud that our people see Brooks International as a place where they can do consequential work and build fulfilling careers. We intend to keep earning that confidence through the decisions we make and the way we lead.”
Brooks International’s approach to development places professionals in live client environments, combining structured learning with mentorship from experienced leaders. Employees build the ability to translate operational decisions into financial outcomes while gaining experience across industries and working with executive teams. The Brooks International Gold Seal Standard™ provides a common framework for developing the expertise, judgment and character required to deliver in complex business environments.
This emphasis on people is integral to the firm’s implementation model. Brooks International teams work within client organizations to align strategy, financial objectives and operational execution, with accountability for measurable results. Developing capable leaders and supporting effective collaboration equip those teams to deliver improvements in profitability and cash flow that clients can sustain.
As it celebrates five consecutive years among Consulting Magazine’s Best Firms to Work For, Brooks International remains focused on strengthening the conditions behind that recognition: meaningful career development, trusted leadership and a workplace grounded in mutual respect.
