About VTNH Consulting Partners
At VTNH Consulting Partners, we believe that every small and medium-sized business deserves more than just a fighting chance—they deserve the unwavering support and world-class expertise typically reserved for corporate giants.
This conviction is the bedrock of our firm, founded by Derek Showerman, who recognized a critical gap after his impactful tenure at Salesforce and other exceptional organizations: Fractional talent should be driven by passion, not just a paycheck.
Our Difference: Experience Meets Empathy
VTNH brings enterprise experience into the working reality of Vermont and New Hampshire businesses. Advice has to survive the budget, the team, and the next deadline, so we stay close to the decisions and help leaders execute them across Vermont, New Hampshire, and New England.
