Twelve Consulting Group, Inc. (“Twelve”), founded in 2013 by Jill King, is a premier Anaplan Gold Partner with deep expertise in enterprise performance consulting solutions.
Argano is a leading digital services consultancy focused exclusively on enabling high performance across its clients’ business operations, at scale and around the globe. Forged from prominent specialist consultancies with decades of enterprise technology, data, cloud, AI and operations expertise, Argano supports the full transformation agenda through strategy, design, execution and ongoing managed services. Argano modernizes and optimizes core functions across customer engagement and service, revenue management, finance and planning, supply chain and workforce optimization.
Twelve specializes in solving unique challenges for Life Sciences & CPG companies, including finance, sales performance management, revenue growth management, supply chain management and pharma gross to net. The acquisition of Twelve broadens Argano’s Anaplan coverage for these industries and is the latest step in Argano’s ongoing effort to deepen its technology and AI capabilities. The transaction also creates new cross-sell opportunities with Argano’s performance consulting and data integration services, positioning the firm for continued growth. Twelve’s leadership includes some of Anaplan’s earliest employees, and its highly experienced team has built a reputation for driving impactful planning solutions tailored to complex business environments.
“We’re proud of the organization we’ve built together, the career opportunities that have been unlocked through our growth and the meaningful client relationships we’ve forged along the way. We see joining Argano as an opportunity to continue creating value for our clients, our team and our partners,” said Jill King, founder and CFO of Twelve Consulting Group.
“Joining Argano creates a powerful platform for growth, both for our team and our clients. We’re excited to bring our Anaplan experience and industry specialization to a broader stage and help shape the future of enterprise performance management,” added CEO of Twelve, Josh King.
In May of 2025 Argano acquired Anavate, a specialized global consulting firm with expertise in cloud-based planning and forecasting solutions, specifically Anaplan. The acquisitions bring together two of Anaplan’s premier boutiques, providing broader industry coverage and creating one of Anaplan’s largest North American partners. “Twelve and Anavate are long-time partners in the Anaplan ecosystem, and we are pleased that they are unifying under Argano to create comprehensive offerings that will deliver an outsized return on Anaplan investment,” said Kuntal Vahalia, senior vice president, global channels and alliances at Anaplan. “We continue to focus on driving innovation that helps our clients outpredict, outplan and outperform their competition. We look forward to continuing our work with the expanded Argano team.”
