APCO LLC

About

At the heart of APCO Worldwide lies a culture driven by a distinct set of values: boldness, inclusivity, curiosity, and empathy. These principles are not just words on a page; they are the lived experience of the firm's diverse team of over 1,200 employees across more than 30 global markets. What began 40 years ago as the vision of a single woman, Founder and Executive Chairman Margery Kraus, has blossomed into an independent, majority women-owned consultancy that thrives on tackling the world's most complex challenges. The company's culture champions the diversity of its people, actively embracing their unique thoughts and experiences to foster an environment of continuous learning and improvement. This commitment to inclusivity and curiosity keeps APCO at the cutting edge, constantly pushing boundaries to devise innovative solutions for its clients. The firm's mission is to be a catalyst for progress, adding tangible value to clients' enterprises while benefiting society as a whole. This is achieved by providing insightful counsel, crafting compelling narratives, and delivering creative solutions that enable clients to meet their objectives in a rapidly evolving global landscape. APCO's team, comprised of former elected leaders, journalists, ambassadors, and business executives, brings a wealth of experience from the very environments their clients need to navigate. This deep-seated expertise allows them to build the 'un/common ground' upon which progress is made. The spirit of cooperation and kindness is a unique and cherished aspect of the company's identity, empowering employees to work as one cohesive unit. This collaborative environment, coupled with a commitment to telling the truth and empowering people to do great work, defines the essence of APCO's cultural narrative and its enduring success.
