McBride Consulting is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business founded in 2016 by Lonnie McBride, a U.S. Air Force veteran with over 20 years of professional services experience, including time at MorganFranklin Consulting. The firm provides management and IT consulting services to federal, state, and local government agencies, commercial clients, and multilateral organizations. McBride recognized a gap in the consulting landscape where organizations needed partners who understood both strategic complexities and the practical realities of implementation - particularly the distance between transformation planning and operational execution.
The company operates at the intersection of business transformation, operations, and technology implementation, focusing on cross-industry solutions that bridge these traditionally siloed domains. Their approach combines what they describe as military precision with commercial innovation, positioning the firm to support clients navigating complex operational challenges. The technical domains span management consulting, IT consulting, and technology implementation, with an emphasis on translating strategic initiatives into working systems rather than stopping at the strategy deck.
Since its founding, McBride has grown from straightforward consulting engagements to comprehensive operational support across multiple sectors. The firm's client base spans the full spectrum of government work - federal agencies, state governments, and local jurisdictions - as well as private sector organizations and international multilateral entities. The company's veteran ownership status and SDVOSB certification provide strategic positioning for government contracting, while the founder's background in both military service and commercial consulting shapes the firm's operational culture and delivery model.
