Testimonials

“I’m not sure how we ran our business without your analytics and insights beforehand. You’ve debunked a lot of myths and really helped us shape the right direction on how we accelerate growth with our organic go-to-market and with our acquisition approach.”

“Our Chairman (from PE firm) said his private equity firm should take this playbook and replicate it with their other portfolio companies.  The work was not academic, but rather tangible and value additive on the go do. Your work was referenced 5 times in our Board meeting from various leadership team members – I would call that huge impact. And our CEO wants the work captured in an ongoing dashboard so we keep measuring progress against the clear direction.”
