February 12, 2026 — Ember Group Consulting, a global management consulting firm founded in Charlotte, has been recognized with two major honors in Consulting Magazine’s 2026 Rising Stars of the Profession awards—one at the firm level and one individual distinction.
Ember was named a Firm Honoree in Recruiting and Retention Programs, recognizing the intentional culture, talent investment, and people-first operating model that define the firm’s rapid growth.
This recognition reflects the intentional way we invest in people at every stage of their journey—creating an environment where top talent can grow, feel supported, and deliver meaningful impact for our clients,” said Aubrey Haller, Talent Leader at Ember Group Consulting.
In addition, Isha Pednekar was recognized as an Individual Honoree in Operational & Process Consulting, honoring her leadership, client impact, and commitment to delivering measurable transformation outcomes.
“These recognitions reflect the kind of culture we are intentionally building—one where people grow, clients succeed, and meaningful work happens every day,” said Rochelle Rivas, CEO & Co-Founder of Ember Group Consulting. “We are especially proud to see Isha recognized alongside some of the most respected professionals in our industry.”
The annual Rising Stars of the Profession program highlights emerging leaders and high-impact firms across the global consulting landscape. Honorees are selected based on measurable client results, leadership contributions, innovation, and impact within their organizations and communities.
“For us, recognition always comes back to people,” said Clint Watson, President & Co-Founder. “Being honored for recruiting and retention speaks directly to our belief that culture is a competitive advantage—and Isha’s recognition is a powerful example of what happens when exceptional talent is empowered to lead.”
