Who We Are

E2i Partners is an independent advisory firm that helps corporate leaders develop strategic learning partnerships with top U.S. academic institutions and research-driven learning organizations. Unlike university business development teams, we are not employed by any institution—our focus is solely on finding the right partners to meet your business growth and workforce development needs.

What We Do

We connect corporate strategy, learning, and HR leaders with high-quality academic and training partners who have the capability and capacity to build custom, industry-relevant programs—not just fill classrooms. Our services include:

Why We Are Different

Most university business development teams are measured by how many “strategic alliances” they sign or how many events they hold with corporate partners—their ultimate goal is student enrollment. E2i takes a different approach.

✔ We are not tied to any school or enrollment targets. We choose partners based on capabilities, not quotas.


✔ We focus on outcomes, not transactions. Every partnership is built to align with your business and workforce strategy.


✔ We provide unbiased expertise. You get a customized, strategic approach instead of a one-size-fits-all academic partnership.

How We Work

  1. Assess Your Needs – We begin by understanding your business growth goals, workforce challenges, and talent development strategy.

  2. Identify the Right Partners – We vet institutions and learning providers based on capability, capacity, and program relevance—not on their internal enrollment priorities.

  3. Develop & Integrate Programs – We work with both sides to ensure learning solutions are customized, scalable, and strategically aligned.

  4. Manage Execution & Growth – From launch to expansion, we support end-to-end implementation to maximize impact.

Why It Matters

Corporate learning isn’t just about employee education—it’s a business growth driver. However, finding the right academic partners can be complex and time-consuming. Many universities focus on generating enrollments rather than building industry-relevant programs. Without the right guidance, businesses risk investing in partnerships that don’t deliver real impact.

E2i ensures your learning investments create measurable business outcomes.

✔ Stronger workforce alignment – Programs that directly address your industry’s evolving needs.


✔ Faster time to market – Get corporate learning initiatives off the ground quickly and effectively.


✔ Higher ROI – Strategic partnerships that deliver measurable business value rather than just filling classrooms.


✔ Less risk, more efficiency – Save time and resources with a partner that manages the process from strategy to execution.
