Black Mountain, a full-service global human resources consulting firm, was created in 1994 as an outsource solution for Credit Suisse First Boston, a global securities and investment bank. Stephen Medici, President and CEO of Black Mountain, was ready to make his entrepreneurial debut after having worked in corporate benefits for over 22 years. Since its inception, Black Mountain has expanded globally and more than tripled in size.
After competing with some of the largest human resources consulting firms to obtain Credit Suisse First Boston's business, Black Mountain has added over 24 clients worldwide. In order to properly support its rapidly growing business, Black Mountain opened offices in London and Zurich, and will have operations in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore by the end of this year.
Recently, Black Mountain was recognized as a leader among small businesses nationwide and was selected as a finalist in The Blue Chip Enterprise Initiative, a competition sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
