Case Study: H&Q - Successful Transition from Founding CEO

Financial Service / Venture-Investment Banking

What?  As one of Silicon Valley’s  first and most prestigious Venture Capital/Investment Banking Firms, they needed to reinvent themselves, revitalize their business model, and transition from the founder to a new team of leaders.

How?  Working with the top team, we created a new vision and strategic plan for the Firm that was embraced and driven by the new team of owners.  This enabled the Founder to leave and build a business that is democratizing the Investment Banking Industry.

So What?  H&Q had exponential qrowth with a new team of leaders and has since morphed into other successful ventures, keeping pace with the industry.

"We chose Michael over Bain and glad we did.  He focused on engagement and implementation. For many years, he was viewed as our Strategic Planning Partner at Hambrecht and Quist.  I really learned a lot about strategy from Michael."
