General Management (P&L) Consulting for Tech Companies
Where is your business heading? Is it well on the way to meeting both your short and long term goals, or is something lacking? While there are many talented managers running software and hardware companies, a smart executive realizes that a company can never have enough expertise. In many cases it can be difficult to formulate the perfect strategy or conduct a completely objective evaluation with a view strictly from inside the company. Results can often be enhanced by utilizing assistance from a fresh, outside view to supplement the domain expertise within the company.
