What our clients say

"Working with Sam and the team has been an amazing learning experience. Sam has shown us everything from improving company culture to decreasing costs and overall margin improvement. His expertise in building his own company has allowed us to leverage ideas on various projects going forward. Our company is large and hard to navigate with. He sailed right through, plugged the holes and helped lift our boat."

Eric C.

EVP of a Fortune 500 Company

"I did not know where to start; I had an idea and nothing more. Sam has helped bring the idea to life! Working with a founder really helped me understand the depth of what it takes to bring an idea into fruition. We all have dreams, Sam helped me make mine come through. He is someone I can call and trust that he has our best interests in mind."

Raj K.

CEO of a Healthcare Startup

"Sam was able to turn our pharmacy business around in a profound way. He came in and he could see what was and was not working. I like that he is an actual ‘doer’ and clearly spells out what needs to be done. Very different from others our company has worked with. His ideas of thinking outside of the box were spot on. He brings his own background to help us navigate our challenges."
