Preston Howell’s driving force stems from a passion to use data to improve human lives, build thriving businesses, and create a better society. He’s always loved numbers, people, and connecting analytical thinking to people and the businesses they build. He considers data consulting to be the best world in which to bring people and numbers together.
Preston currently fuels this passion by building two consulting practices within Resultant: Professional Services and Private Equity.
He established Resultant’s Professional Services market vertical in 2024—a path that began more than ten years ago when he was an intern tasked with helping leadership understand trends in the business. He’s turned that entry-level project into a fully developed Analytics Engine offering, one that provides more than $2.5 million annually to Resultant in EBITDA impact through increases in utilization, rates, hiring strategies, and margin preservation. He’s now offering this solution to other ProServ firms to measure and improve their organizational health.
He co-established Resultant’s Private Equity (PE) practice in 2023 along with vertical lead Amit Parikh. Heading up the solution side of the practice, Preston drives value creation for PE firms and their portfolio companies.
Outside of work, Preston and his wife are deeply involved in urban agriculture and sustainability. Since 2019, they’ve started two community gardens and an orchard through their church to help provide healthy food for at-risk communities in Dallas. In 2020, they started Balcony Box, a for-profit company teaching people in North Texas to sustainably grow their own food.
