The Deals Speak for Themselves.

I have known the VERTESS team and worked with them in different capacities over the past 30 years. Most recently, they represented our company in a successful asset sale. They were very professional and respected all of our concerns along the way. Although selling a business is difficult, they made it much easier for all of us. Going forward VERTESS is going to set the standard for healthcare mergers and acquisitions.

With over 25 years in business, I felt I needed some CEO level consulting for my company. After extensive research, I felt that VERTESS' years of C-level management experience, entrepreneurship history and psychological training and expertise could be just what I was looking for. Turns out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made in years. I would enthusiastically recommend VERTESS to any executive that wants to solidify or turn around their company.

In the process of a very challenging merger with another organization VERTESS was consistently on target and available to help us as we made some very critical decisions. Their guidance was crucial to us going forward.

I want to thank VERTESS for the personal attention and support they gave as I planned for the sale of the behavioral health company that my husband and his team operated for 20 years. VERTESS brought expertise and guidance through every step of the process, from the preparation of data, negotiation, and conclusion of the sale of Supported Living Systems. They helped keep my priorities in the forefront and offered alternative strategies for reaching goals. VERTESS kept the discussion on a steady course and gave thoughtful and wise advice at every point in the process, as we moved to a successful conclusion for both companies.

We originally sought VERTESS' assistance to help us make some critical decisions for our future. We had been considering many options and we needed a clearer direction as we expanded our nonprofit operations. VERTESS' consultation was very effective in sharpening our strategic focus and developing a clear map for our future growth, including stronger internal alignment. VERTESS' insights were invaluable for our entire senior team and I strongly recommend them for consultation with organizations like ours.

We used VERTESS’ consultation services in completing divestiture and sale to a major national company. The process went very smoothly and their guidance was invaluable.

VERTESS acted as a trouble shooter and temporary manager with extreme confidence and vision. They came into an organization that needed to rebuild and redesign for success. VERTESS laid a business foundation that has allowed me, as the new Director, to move swiftly into a trajectory of success. They are very skilled at making difficult decisions without the emotional over lay that can get in the way of positive solutions. VERTESS inspired a sense of confidence and self-reliance from all constituents that were involved in the program. They continued as a coach and consultant to keep us on target and moving forward. I highly recommend them as an executive coach and organizational consultant. They cut through weeds and let a 1000 flowers bloom.
