Roux Southern California was established in 2011. Our goal from day one was to bring people with diverse backgrounds together who were aligned with our culture of providing solutions to complex challenges. Today, we have two offices in Southern California—Burbank and Long Beach—and nearly forty employees with distinct skillsets, dedicated to servicing clients on the West Coast and beyond.
