ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA
Strategy and operations consulting in St. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg occupies the southern Pinellas peninsula and has its own economy built around financial services, electronics manufacturing, marine science and a downtown that keeps adding residents, restaurants and arts venues.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in St. Petersburg.
Raymond James Financial and Jabil are headquartered in the city, and Duke Energy Florida and HSN run major operations here. Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, Bayfront Health and the University of South Florida St. Petersburg campus support health and education employment, and a marine-science cluster includes the USF College of Marine Science and federal research offices near the downtown waterfront. Downtown housing growth and the Innovation District have drawn technology and professional-services firms.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of St. Petersburg management teams.
Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024 caused storm-surge flooding and wind damage that raised insurance, repair and resilience costs for businesses across the city. Rising home prices make it harder for employers to recruit hourly and mid-level staff. Smaller firms that serve customers across Pinellas County have to decide whether to rebuild, relocate or harden their sites against future storms.
