My name is Scott Winston, I have created a set of tools to help small and growing businesses leverage the tools of much larger and better-resourced organizations. I was tired of seeing large companies and venture back startups be the only ones to benefit from this type of knowledge.
Let me tell you; you don't need an MBA, be in a Business Accelerator, or be backed by Venture money to make it. And you don't need high priced advisory. However, you do need people around who have been there before and have a track record producing the type of results you want to create.
I have advised some of the top companies in the world in turning around their operations, growing their business and addressing organization and growth challenges in the past. Companies like Microsoft, Alcoa, Crown Castle, US West, Bell Atlantic, Bell South, McDonald's, Motorola, and The Reynolds Metal Company to name a few.
I am not just a strategist. I get my hands dirty, I'm more of an operator, and I like to work at all levels of the business and not just large companies.
At Accenture one of the World’s largest consulting firms, I was in their Venture Launch Group where I worked with Venture Capital and Private Equity Firms on Early Stage company launches.
At PricewaterhouseCoopers I was on their Global Mergers and Acquisitions team, I helped set up Joint Ventures valued at $100's of millions of dollars and helped drive transactions both pre-deal and post-deal integrations on multi billion-dollar transactions. I loved that work, but the truth is I really love working with entrepreneurs and helping them drive growth in their businesses. So, for the last ten year I have run my own consulting firm, and now I am looking for ways to help even more small and mid-size organizations get the benefits of the big consulting firms without the big consulting firm pricing.
Over the last 10 years, I have had the opportunity to teach and train small and growing companies in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Running your own business gives you the freedom to work where you want, and for people, you want to help. I am fortunate I have been able to do that.
I want to bring the same knowledge I used to produce explosive growth for well-funded companies backed by Venture Capital and Private Equity firms to your company. I want to share with you what I developed helping create growth at fortune 500 firms and those well-funded venture-backed firms.
The same principals top constituting firms and Business Accelerators utilize can work for you.
