About the Company

In 1914, Edwin Booz had an idea. He believed that companies would be more successful if they could call on someone outside their own organizations for expert, impartial advice. In doing so, he created a new profession — management consulting — and the firm that would bear his name, Booz Allen Hamilton.

In Fiscal Year 2004, the firm recorded $2.7 billion in annual sales. Staff has increased to more than 15,000 members located in offices on six continents.

Booz Allen is a private company with corporate headquarters in McLean, Virginia. Dr. Ralph Shrader is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the firm — the seventh chairman since the firm's founding in 1914.
