Upon completion, we will provide you with a top ten list of items to work, a path forward, and a detailed report to act as your guide. We will also provide you an estimated return on investment for implementing our strongest recommendations.

Victor Assad provided us a broad and thorough HR assessment which identified several areas for us to improve our HR processes and drive business success.

Ellen Aigner, Monterrey Tile Company

Victor Assad has worked with us to integrate state-of-the art digital technology and to align our work process with the new technology. The result has been improved employee training, work processes and sales.

Ron Mnieckowski, Partner, Operations, Maximus Real Estate Partners

Victor Assad brought invaluable experience from a solid corporate legacy position to help me better understand the US environment and the challenges I would face when making investment decisions on optimizing my customer-facing organization to execute on my company’s commercialization strategy.

In an easy approach and highly collaborative manner he proactively developed tangible solutions to issues such as ‘healthcare compliance’, ‘pay and commission structures’ and ‘recruitment policies’ that I faced as I developed the sales organization.

Victor excels at grasping the complexities of a specific situation and then applying his experience to bring solutions that are simple to understand and to implement.

I would strongly recommend Victor as somebody who would add value to a leadership team eager to bring a fresh insight to their sales organization or as someone to give pragmatic guidance to an executive working through a specific HR related challenge.
