“What sets SKMG apart from the rest is their deep passion and perspective on what is right for the business. This is determined by a strong understanding of business strategy, financials, board dynamics, market conditions and, finally, desired outcome. It is this curiosity that leads to not only healthy debates and builds on approaches, but most importantly outstanding results – always. They are some of the best executive advisors around – and when building, transforming or managing crisis in business we all know how rare that is. Without doubt on my speed dial always.”
