How We Work
Relational
We are very selective in who we work with to ensure we have the bandwidth to get to know each client and provide incredible results. We are much more invested in you than simply being your consultant.
Innovative
Our clients are big thinkers. So are we. Our team brings fresh thinking, models and strategies based on research and experience to help you generate the solutions of the future.
Relentless
Our daily uniform is a flannel shirt which represents our work ethic and willingness to do the hard things that produce results. We’ll always put our flannel work shirt on for you. Unless you request us to wear something nicer (because we are also flexible).
Get to Know Del...
With a portfolio of experiences spanning 25 countries, Del Chittim has held diverse leadership roles, including COO, CFO, and Chief Impact Officer of an international organization; Executive Vice President of a university; and Finance Director of a large network. He has guided large organizations through dramatic turnarounds as well as taken a few start-ups from early stage to market leadership.
Del’s acumen is complemented by his diverse experience. With roles in private equity, financial services, social justice, higher education, affordable housing, and human rights, Del has led diverse organizations worldwide, shaping an inclusive, mindful, and collaborative leadership style.
As the founder of Flannel Solutions, Del serves as a trusted advisor and executive coach to leaders and changemakers worldwide. His consulting firm, inspired by his signature daily uniform of a flannel shirt, has impacted over 400 organizations and guided more than 5,000 leaders toward transformative change.
A seasoned mountaineer, Del first learned leadership while working as a mountain guide, which taught him to lead in high-stakes environments with adaptability, resilience, and the ability to stay grounded when the path is uncertain. These experiences have shaped how he coaches leaders: helping them navigate complexity, embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, and discover new perspectives and possibilities.
Del loves an adventure with friends in the outdoors. When he's not in the mountains, he cherishes spending time with his family and friends at home near Seattle, Washington.
