About the Founder

Forte Consulting Group was founded by John Wilkes, a Seattle-based operator with experience leading teams, managing complex systems, and working across both founder-led and enterprise environments.
His background spans independent ventures and structured corporate settings, with a consistent focus on improving operational clarity and execution.
That perspective informs Forte's approach — disciplined, practical, and centered on improvements that compound over time.
