New division extends Thompson's proven growth and operational expertise to both nonprofits and businesses seeking measurable, sustainable performance

CHARLOTTE, NC / ACCESS Newswire / April 21, 2026 / At a time when many mission-driven organizations are under increasing pressure to deliver measurable outcomes with limited resources, Thompson today announced the launch of Thompson Impact Consulting, a new strategic advisory and operational consulting division designed to help nonprofits, public agencies, and mission-driven enterprises strengthen performance and scale sustainably.

Built on Thompson's own transformation from a single-state organization into a $60MM multi-state leader across the Southeast, the new division brings practical, field-tested expertise to organizations seeking to align mission with operational discipline and long-term financial strength.

That experience is now the service.

"Mission without discipline is fragile," said Will Jones, CEO of Thompson. "We've lived the hard work of building operational strength-financial clarity, leadership alignment, and accountability-so we can deliver on our mission consistently. Thompson Impact Consulting exists to help other organizations build that same foundation and scale their impact with confidence."

The consulting division will be led by Cecilia Haag, President of Thompson Impact Consulting, former Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer for Thompson, who played a central role in the organization's growth, market expansion, and operational transformation.

Haag brings experience leading strategic initiatives at organizations including Insperity, Nissan, and Avon, with a track record of aligning strategy and execution, strengthening operations, and scaling performance in complex environments.

"We've seen firsthand that when organizations operate with clarity, accountability, and strong leadership, both financial performance and mission outcomes improve," said Haag. "Our focus is helping organizations build that foundation-so impact is not just aspirational, but sustainable."
