Operating Consultants

Our strategy includes the retention of ex-CEOs consultants who have achieved substantial personal and corporate success in business matters, and because of their insight and reputation, they are individuals that we believe will accelerate the growth of Eastside portfolio companies.

While the specific demands of an individual portfolio company will vary, the primary functions of these individuals may include:

• Participating as an active board member of a portfolio company;
• Mentoring the executive team on certain core functions;
• Leveraging industry relationships to assist companies in achieving strategic goals;
• Assistance and counsel on sales and marketing strategy;
• Executive recruiting and other important corporate actions;
