In business, people and their potential are what truly matter

Our Practice Areas

At SHV Partners, our mission is simple yet profound: Sustaining Human Value in every step of your leadership journey. Through shared knowledge and diverse perspectives, we empower your team to drive business success by putting people first. We do this through three distinct practice areas: SHV Partners, SHV Pathways, and SHV Press.

Our New Brand

Since 2018, we’ve grown from a solo practice into a team of consultants helping leaders and their teams align, grow, and thrive. Along the way, it became clear: our work isn’t about one person—it’s about shared intelligence and creating lasting, collective impact. 

That’s why we’ve change our name from Scott Hackman Ventures to SHV Partners — where SHV stands for Sustaining Human Value. This rebrand reflects our commitment to building meaningful solutions that honor people, purpose, and progress.
