Third Rock Consulting
Helping Businesses Grow in Canada, Build Cyber Credibility, and Expand into Allied Global Markets.
[ Our Mission ]
Our work supports industrial capacity, supply chain resilience, and long-term national capability development.
[ Our Story ]
When Stories Don’t Translate, Capability Stalls.
Small and medium businesses speak the language of innovation.
Prime contractors speak the language of scale and integration.
Governments speak the language of policy, compliance, and national security.
When these languages don’t translate, strong ideas remain disconnected from real programs.
Third Rock Consulting translates across these worlds—turning shop-floor innovation into strategy-room decisions and durable, mission-aligned outcomes.
