Robert Lytle

I am a strategy consultant with thirty years of experience supporting PE firms, PE backed education companies, universities and K-12 education institutions, and Federal and State government agencies. I joined Stax in 2025 where we support PE firms with buy-side commercial diligence, value creation, and sell-side support.

Previously I was the leader of EY-Parthenon Americas Government and Public Sector Practice and EY-Parthenon's Global Education Practice with a mission to augment EY’s efforts with world-class strategy capabilities.

For nearly three decades, I have led client engagements on policy, general strategy, performance improvement and investment due diligence. My clients include federal, state and local governments; non-profit institutions; high-growth organizations; publicly listed global companies; and investors. In addition, I have participated in numerous high-profile corporate turnarounds, mergers, divestitures and privatizations in Europe, North America, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia.

I am a frequent speaker and moderator at leading global forums in the education sector and forums focused on US Federal, state, and local government and have served on several education organization boards.
