Gus has run his own organizational effectiveness consulting practice for over 20 years and has worked with hundreds of client organizations ranging from pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare product companies to brokerage, banks, and insurance companies, from IT startups to long-established telecommunications service providers as well as law firms, retailers, hospital systems, and chemical manufacturers. His proposals have won—and lost—multi-million dollar deals as well as much smaller ones.

His passion, though, is mentoring colleagues and fellow consultants as they launch and expand their businesses. Over the years, he has counseled hundreds of business consultants and budding entrepreneurs.
