BALTIMORE, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Founded in 2009 by organizational executive and crisis leadership expert Rob Weinhold, Fallston Group has grown into a dynamic, family-run firm with a diverse expert team serving clients across North America. The firm operates at the core intersection of leadership, strategy, and communications. Weinhold, who authored the top-selling book , helps executives navigate critical moments with velocity, clarity, and confidence. The firm is deeply rooted in Baltimore and recently expanded to Tampa (FL). Fallston Group has worked across many industries for its sixteen years, specifically with leaders grappling with the most complex issues in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
"This award is a testament to our mission-driven work, which is grounded in faith, trust, loyalty, and long-term partnerships," said Rob Weinhold, Founder and Chief Executive. "As a father and grandfather, it's deeply meaningful to see our values reflected in our company culture, service delivery, long-term vision, and impact.
