About Vaya Group

A Talent Management Consultancy Tailored to You

Vaya is derived from the word vayama, which means “right effort” or “right progress.” It refers to setting out on a path and working to give rise to what is good and useful through purposeful thought and behavior.

That journey is represented in our Path2Great. Working as guide and partner, we lead clients to excellence, helping them define great and using data-driven solutions to maximize their potential.

The Vaya Group Story

Founded in 1997 by Dr. Paul Eccher and Dave Ross, we were initially called Corporate Insights, Inc. Our first client, General Electric, helped us establish a reputation for providing superior assessments. Building on that strength, we expanded our strategy and used assessment insights and data to create powerful development solutions.

In 2010, we changed our name to The Vaya Group to reflect our new mission: to help companies leverage assessments into data-driven development. Today, our Path2Great provides holistic talent management strategies aligned with measurable business outcomes.

The company that began in a one-room office has expanded and continues to grow in the Chicagoland area and beyond. A roster of clients that started with General Electric has grown to include AstraZeneca, Gilead Sciences, Beam Suntory, McKesson, and Citigroup, to name just a few.
