About Us

Holland Intelligence Research Group (HIRG) is a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) delivering high-impact research and intelligence solutions to government, private sector, and nonprofit clients. Founded in 2025 by Karina Holland, HIRG was built on a clear premise: better decisions start with better intelligence.

We specialize in producing rigorous, insight-driven analysis that goes beyond surface-level reporting. Our work supports strategic decision-making across critical areas, including risk assessment, market and industry analysis, competitive intelligence, and policy development. Every engagement is designed to provide not just information, but clarity, equipping leaders with the context and foresight needed to act with confidence.

At HIRG, research is not a commodity, it is a discipline. We take a deep-dive, methodologically grounded approach to every project, tailoring our process to each client’s unique mission, constraints, and objectives. This ensures our deliverables are precise, relevant, and immediately actionable.

With over 18 years of experience spanning the federal government, intelligence community, and consulting sectors, HIRG brings a rare blend of analytical rigor, operational awareness, and strategic perspective. We understand the environments our clients operate in whether navigating complex policy landscapes, assessing emerging risks, or identifying opportunities in dynamic markets.

Why HIRG?

Intelligence-Grade Analysis
We apply the same structured analytic techniques and rigor used within the intelligence community—ensuring our research is thorough, defensible, and free from bias.

Tailored, Not Templated
Every project is built from the ground up. We do not rely on recycled frameworks or generic reports—our work is customized to your specific questions and decision environment.

Decision-Focused Deliverables
We don’t stop at analysis. Our products are designed to support action, with clear insights, implications, and recommendations that leaders can use immediately.

Cross-Sector Expertise
Our experience across government, consulting, and mission-driven organizations allows us to bridge perspectives and deliver insights that are both strategic and practical.

Agile and Client-Centered
As a specialized firm, we offer the responsiveness, discretion, and direct engagement that larger firms often cannot, ensuring a high-touch, collaborative experience from start to finish.

Our mission is to deliver accurate, timely, and decision-ready intelligence that enables leaders to move forward with confidence and achieve meaningful, measurable outcomes.
