Our story
Dr Bronte Adams AM established dandolo in 2002 to apply the logic, discipline and approaches she learnt in top level management consulting to the kinds of issues she had worked on as a government executive and in the same spirit of public service. dandolo has grown and developed, bringing in new talent and expanding into new areas, but is still based on this same fundamental formula.
dandolo’s name is a nod to Bronte’s history as a medievalist and an homage to Enrico Dandolo. Dandolo was a statesman, diplomat and merchant, elected Doge of Venice in 1193. He was strikingly successful in both the commercial and political realms.
Today dandolo has dozens of consulting staff based in Melbourne working for clients around Australia. We also draw a network of partners with specialist sector or technical expertise, which allows us to design teams and scale for different kinds of projects.
