About

We are ackle.

A consulting and software firm for forward-thinking organizations with medium to large sales teams — and, increasingly, for any operation whose spreadsheet has become a liability.

The firm

Since 2015, deeper than data.

Ackle was founded by sales-operations veteran Nada Akl with a goal of delivering more than data governance or compliance. By fusing industry best practices with business intelligence and software, we transform how teams use and access data — empowering people at every level to tangibly increase performance and profitability at scale.

Sales leaders across industries trust us to automate, optimize and measure their sales operations and compensation programs. Over the last decade that work has grown into three practices: the compensation and implementation work we're known for, the master-data and reporting work that makes it defensible, and the AI and software engineering that turns recommendations into running systems.

Our guiding principles
  • Performance
  • Stewardship
  • Accessibility
  • Scalability

Partners who do the work.

Every engagement is led by a partner. When you call, you get the person who scoped it.
