Cloud Hikers: A new approach to digital consultancy

Cloud Hikers was founded by Khaled McGonnell after nearly two decades of experience in technology consulting, where he observed the inefficiencies of traditional systems integrators (SIs). Many of these integrators took a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach to projects, treating clients as mere engagements rather than true partners. This often led to slow, bloated deployments that failed to produce meaningful transformation.

To break away from this model, McGonnell established Cloud Hikers, focusing on flexibility, pragmatism, and a deep alignment with clients’ business needs. Instead of forcing technology into a business where it doesn't fit, Cloud Hikers prioritizes understanding real-world challenges and designing Salesforce solutions that address them efficiently.

The company's approach is built on three core principles: adaptive solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs, a focus on high-impact, fast results through incremental deployments, and true business integration. Cloud Hikers doesn’t just implement Salesforce; they embed themselves within organizations, aligning with their strategy and long-term goals to drive sustainable transformation.
