  • One partnerAccountable for the whole outcome
  • 70+ yearsCombined leadership experience
  • Three modelsManaged Offices, GCCs, and Services

01 · The Opportunity

Global capability,
within reach.

The opportunity to build across borders should be open to organizations at every stage.

Global capability centers have changed how the world’s largest enterprises build technology, run operations, and access talent. But the model has largely been designed around enterprise scale, budgets, and timelines.

02 · The Challenge

Three conventional routes, each incomplete on its own.

Smaller organizations have had to assemble the pieces themselves: an advisor, a workspace, a recruitment partner, an accountant. The missing piece was someone responsible for how it all worked together.

  • Independent build

    Incorporating an entity, engaging counsel and accountants, securing and fitting out premises, recruiting a leadership layer before a team, and mastering a second jurisdiction’s compliance regime.

    12 to 18 months of executive attention

  • Advisory engagement

    A strategy, a location assessment, and an operating model, followed by a handover.

    Execution left entirely with the client

  • Enterprise providers

    Comprehensive and credible, but structured for engagements measured in hundreds of seats and priced accordingly.

    Built for enterprise scale only

03 · Our Response

One accountable team across strategy, establishment, and operation.

Ortellis is the firm we built to connect them. Our founders brought together three disciplines that are too often separate.

  • Places that work

    Designing, building, and operating commercial workspace.

  • Companies that function

    Running the finance, people, and compliance behind a business.

  • Teams that deliver

    Leading technology programs and operations for global organizations.

The future we see

Capability at every scale.

To be the partner through which organizations of every scale realize the full potential of global capability.

The work we do

Build it. Run it. Stand behind it.

Design, build, and operate high-performing capability centers, and remain accountable for their performance for as long as our clients choose.

Growth needs
a framework.

Ortus is Latin for a rising: the point where growth begins.

A trellis is the framework that growth rises on.

Ortellis is that framework, in place from the start. We provide it at the point of origin: the right people, places, and operating systems, connected from day one, so your enterprise can concentrate on what it is growing into.
