COLUMBUS, OHIO
Strategy and operations consulting in Columbus, Ohio.
Columbus combines Ohio state government, Ohio State University, insurance and banking, retail and apparel headquarters, and large logistics and data-center investment around New Albany and Licking County.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Columbus.
State government, Ohio State and its medical center, Nationwide and other insurers, and JPMorgan Chase's large operations center provide a stable base. Retail and apparel companies such as Bath & Body Works and Abercrombie & Fitch keep headquarters and distribution here, and the metro's reach within a day's drive of much of the U.S. population supports large warehouses. Data centers from Amazon, Google and Meta have clustered in New Albany and Licking County, while Intel has pushed back the timeline for its Ohio fab.
