DETROIT, August 12, 2025 – Lodestone People Consulting, a boutique human capital advisory firm headquartered in Metro Detroit, has been named No. 872 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Founded by Dr. Sandy Fiaschetti, a Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses graduate, the firm has grown rapidly through a national network of expert partners and a steadfast focus on aligning leadership with value creation.

The Inc. 5000 list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, and Patagonia.

“I founded Lodestone on key values of credibility, humility, no BS, and enjoying our work. Our teams delivers quality work consistently while espousing these values. That’s earned us long-standing relationships, new opportunities, and now a spot on the Inc. 5000. This recognition wasn’t the target; it’s what happens when you work with purpose in not a job, but a calling.”

– Dr. Sandy Fiaschetti, Founder and Managing Partner

“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”

This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated resilience and growth while navigating inflation, talent challenges, and economic headwinds. The top 500 companies had a median three-year growth rate of 1,552%, collectively adding more than 48,000 jobs to the U.S. economy.
