Look no further than Venture Growth Partners. Having an opportunity to meet and discuss the needs of our business with Mario was the first step among many where Venture Growth Partners proved their worth. They helped guide and support us in ways we could develop goals, metrics, and strategies that would elevate our skills by placing one of their tenured consultants with us. We were not exactly sure what we needed but Mario was able to decipher from just two meetings what we thought we needed...Without trouble he was able to suggest precisely the person to fill this role, already armed with the right skills to become an essential part of our business. Now, we can’t imagine what or where we would be without Venture Growth Partners.

I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with and knowing James (Christodoulou) for almost 20 years, and thanks to his drive, passion, knowledge and common-sense approach to doing business, he’s always been a great teammate. Based on his diverse experience and his ability to drive results, he makes the perfect CFO who is able to handle everything from the day-to-day financial affairs to high level strategic thinking. His inside and deep knowledge of the financial markets will be a huge asset to those looking for a multifaceted CFO, especially if the company is in the early stages of raising debt and/or equity. James is a very hard worker who takes his job incredibly serious, but not himself, this is why everyone loves working with him.

I have worked closely with Scott (Spelfogel) on a variety of strategic, financial, and operational matters for the last 10 years. He continually impresses me with his exceptional capacity to respond to all inquiries with incredible detail and timeliness. He has remarkable accuracy when performing in-depth reviews while exhibiting a wide range of sophisticated knowledge. Scott actively handles a multitude of projects simultaneously while exhibiting the same level of tenacity with each project. Scott is a rare individual who has executive skills that have been invaluable to us.

Mario Wanderley is a world-class entrepreneur, finance and operating executive and deal maker. For almost two decades, he has worked as my CFO/COO and partner in building numerous businesses in the U.S. and overseas and negotiating transactions with leading technology companies, banks and private equity firms. Mario repeatedly demonstrated an uncanny ability to quickly evaluate complex operating and financial issues and to present creative solutions in often unrealistically short time frames. His tenacity, integrity, intelligence, negotiating and managerial skills made him an invaluable partner.

Tom Nehila is fantastic. I was first introduced to Tom while I was serving as the VP of IT and Chief Technology Officer of a national Healthcare PayerProvider. We brought Tom onboard to help mature our capacity planning process…and he quickly added value far and above that one area. Tom talks Finance, Projects, Programs, People and Technology with equal fluency…and I found a partner and mentor as we streamlined the budget, defined more robust project sizing and capacity models, improved our supply and demand pipelines, identified operational efficiencies, and reinforced a solid foundation of trust with our Finance leaders that ensured continued and future success. Through all of this, Tom provided wise counsel, a level-headed business perspective, good humor, and excellence in delivery – while never feeling like a ‘consultant’, but rather a true part of the leadership team.
