New name reflects the firm’s continued growth representing the world’s leading thinkers and connecting their work with organizations navigating the challenges and opportunities shaping tomorrow.
NEW YORK and WASHINGTON, September 29, 2026 – Stern Strategy Group today announced that it is becoming Stellant Group, a new name for a firm that has spent more than two decades identifying, representing and connecting the world’s leading thinkers with organizations around the globe.
Stellant represents more than 200 speakers and advisors across AI & Emerging Technology, Innovation & Transformation, Psychological Safety & Culture, Geopolitics & Global Risk, Resilience & High Performance, and Communication & Influence. Its roster includes leading scholars, authors and practitioners whose research, ideas and experience shape their fields, business and society.
Stellant brings these thinkers and their work to influential stages and organizations around the globe, from major conferences and leadership gatherings to advising the world’s largest companies across financial services, technology, healthcare, energy and other industries navigating significant change.
At the heart of Stellant’s work is curation. The firm goes deep into the subjects shaping business and society to identify only the most exceptional experts at the forefront of their fields, then works to understand where their ideas and expertise can have the greatest impact. For the experts Stellant champions, that means thoughtful representation that expands the reach and relevance of their work, and learning from elite peers. For customers, it means trusted access to the right expertise for the challenges they are navigating and the opportunities they are pursuing.
“Stern has always been built around extraordinary people and ideas,” said David Bohigian, Chairman of Stellant Group. “Stellant builds on that foundation. Our name is changing, but our commitment to amplifying ideas, building lasting relationships and creating meaningful impact for our speakers and our customers remains the same.”
As part of the company’s next chapter, Stacey Sivak has been named Chief Executive Officer, with Bohigian serving as Chairman.
“What excites me about Stellant is the extraordinary quality of the thinkers we represent and the opportunity to connect their work with organizations navigating the challenges and opportunities shaping tomorrow. We are deliberate about who we represent and deeply committed to creating meaningful impact for our speakers and our customers,” said Sivak.
Organizations engage Stellant’s experts through keynote speaking, executive conversations, workshops and advisory engagements, creating opportunities for their ideas and expertise to reach broad audiences as well as leadership teams tackling specific business challenges.
The name Stellant draws from the Latin stella, meaning “star,” reflecting the constellation of exceptional thinkers at the center of the company’s work.
The new Stellant brand and website will launch at stellantgroup.com on October 3.
