About us

Founded in Seattle in 2021, Volant Partners was built on a new vision for engineering services. After decades of leadership in the consulting industry, founder Ron Hopkins set out to create an uncompromisingly employee-focused company. The founding principle: a supported, world-class team delivers an exceptional client experience.

Our philosophy is rooted in a simple truth: our people are our product. We attract the best talent by offering equity ownership and an environment where they can focus on what they do best. When our team is empowered and engaged, they deliver superior results. This success deepens client trust, creating a virtuous cycle that allows us to continuously reinvest in our people, our business, and our community.

This core belief—that our success stems from our team's dedication—is why Volant Partners is employee-owned. We believe those responsible for our success should share in it. This ownership model enables us to invest our collective success back into the communities where we live and work.
