This includes Education Research, Disability Support, International Education, and Strategic Business Growth. As Insightful Partners for Meaningful Impact, we stand ready to guide you.

Our name, Elle & Dan, is inspired by our daughters, Adrielle and Danielle. Their names symbolize the future, the immense potential we see in every individual, and the profound sense of care and responsibility that guides everything we do. It’s a constant reminder that at the heart of every strategy, every solution, and every service we offer, there are real lives and real futures we are dedicated to enriching.

We combine the rigorous analytical approach of leading global consultancies with our unwavering values of care, social responsibility, and sustainability. Our work isn’t just intelligent—it’s deeply intentional, shaped by systems thinking, rich community insight, and a steadfast commitment to delivering long-term, meaningful outcomes, not just fleeting wins.
