Why W&N Partners
In each turn-around we have performed, we found two basic issues:
It takes too long to build an executive team… easily 90-180 days to start getting effective resources
Good consultants can be far to expensive and sustainability after departure is risky
We built our firm to solve these issues:
Experienced executives, used to difficult situations … with years of experience working together
Ability to parachute in a team on Day 1 (CEO + Leads for Operations, Finance and/or Commercial, and Analytics)
Deep analytical capability … financially savvy analysts able to make sense of disorganized data
Engagement pricing which allows long-term resourcing to see actions through full implementation
