About Us

nRhythm is the product of over 45 years of combined experience designing, operating, and resourcing organizations, networks, and communities working to address the world's most complex social and environmental issues on six continents.

 

Our collective talents and wisdoms include management consulting, executive leadership coaching, fundraising, project management, sales, and business development in both for-profit and nonprofit organizations.

 

Our team's strengths lie in our diverse backgrounds and sectors--from regenerative agriculture and conservation biology, to tech startups and entrepreneurship, to community organizing and development. ​

Our Story

nRhythm was founded in 2009 by Tre’ Cates as a management consulting firm in Boulder, Colorado. In early 2014, Tre’ and his team began the development of a new framework for organizational design and development in response to crippling impediments they observed consistently in organizations, governments, and communities around the world.

 

The result was the nRhythm Regenerative Framework, which takes a holistic, living systems-based approach to organizational design and management. This new framework was first used by the Savory Institute to design and manage a multi-stakeholder and multicultural network of partner organizations in over 20 countries. ​

In 2016, nRhythm expanded its reach to a diverse group of organizations interested in exploring this new approach including manufacturing, technology, business networks, cross-sector collaboratives, food services, health and wellness, non-profit, agriculture, and financial firms.

 

nRhythm has worked on multi-million dollar projects including diverse multi-stakeholder groups of communities and non-governmental organizations as well as federal, state, and local governments. In addition, nRhythm provides organizations with financial and operational support to manage high growth or change-management situations.
