Lantana Consulting Group has been an employee-owned company since 2022. As employee owners, we seek excellence through collaboration. Each of us share in the growth and prosperity of our organization and we are proud to be an ESOP organization. Below are some employee perspectives on what Lantana co-ownership means to them:

Employee Ownership Perspectives

Eric Nystrom

“Lantana became an ESOP organization to transition ownership to employees while maintaining and expanding the company’s strong culture, values, and identity. This has been an exciting change because it aligns our interests and allows everyone to share in the company’s success”.

Eric Nystrom,

VP and CFO

Ming Dunajick

"Working at Lantana is more than just a job; it's a career. As an employee-owner, I feel empowered to contribute to our mission of improving healthcare outcomes through innovative technology. Knowing that my efforts directly impact the success of the company and the lives of patients is incredibly rewarding."

"Employee ownership fosters a culture of collaboration, where everyone is invested in the company’s future. At Lantana, I know that the work I do has value and contributes as much to my personal and professional growth as it does to the success of the company."

Virgie Fields,

Public Health Analyst

Eric Rux

“I grew up on a small wheat farm where being fiscally responsible meant real dollars in our back pockets. As an employe owner, I approach my job in much the same way. Not only am I helping the company grow when I make sound financial decisions, I am helping my peers as well as myself. It’s rewarding being a part of something where we are all driving forward in the same direction.”

"Being part of an ESOP was a major draw for me as a prospective new employee to Lantana. I feel more motivated knowing I have ownership in the company and that my success contributes to our company’s success. Employee ownership fosters a strong culture of pride and loyalty, something I noticed right away during the application process. It was clear that many employees had been with Lantana for years, which speaks to the long-term commitment and satisfaction the ESOP encourages."

"Being an employee-owner means that my opinion matters in every meeting and with each decision put in front of me. The culture at Lantana is transparent, providing visibility into our financial performance and leadership direction; so I feel empowered to be open too – I can offer my thoughts in meetings and pursue further work on project-related endeavors. I’m also encouraged to  grow our B Corp efforts and sustainability goals with greenLantana. I do valuable work because I am valued."

"Being an employee-owner at Lantana is incredibly fulfilling for me. The sense of belonging and happiness I feel in my work is unparalleled. This ownership mentality fosters a culture of collaboration and support, as I see firsthand how my dedication contributes to our collective success. After years of searching for a company that aligns with my values and passion for healthcare, especially after caring for my mother, I found that Lantana shares my love, morals, and dedication to this field. Employee ownership keeps me engaged and invested, leading to better productivity, pay, job stability, and the overall longevity of our company. This empowerment through ownership not only increases my motivation but also significantly boosts productivity growth rates. I am proud to be an employee-owner at Lantana!"
