About Us

Some Background

For over 40 years we have been immersed in B2B enterprises domestically and globally, helping them innovate, grow, recover, restructure, face tough challenges, and exit. We have been in the trenches and have held positions at all levels, in all functional areas in large and small companies.

We’ve started, owned, exited companies, acquired and divested companies, negotiated international deals, lived and worked abroad. And yes, we have experienced the value of both success and failure.

We have been bringing our considerable personal experience to every engagement for over 15 years as a trusted advisor and partner in our clients’ successes. We embrace their challenges as our own with a hands-on, collaborative team approach. Our honest, transparent, flexible, agile and fully committed approach is key to building lasting client relationships.
