“The coming together of the Heart and Stroke foundations across the provinces into a single national entity was an important yet complex turning point for our organization. Mark did masterful job at staging the right discussions and then bringing various groups together to help us move through decisions in a way that was systematic and comfortable for a wide range of decision makers.”
− Irfhan A. Rawji, Former Chairman of the Board Heart and Stroke Foundation −

“I hired SATOV to assist us in quickly addressing some fundamental strategic decisions. We formed a joint team of SATOV and Telus employees and together ran a very efficient process to deliver against tight deadlines. My team and I had a great sense of ownership and confidence in the recommendations we made, which ultimately improved profitability. Thanks for the help!”
− Stephane Dubreuil, SVP, Strategy and Consumer Marketing TELUS Communications Company −

“Even as an intern, I could define my own experience and it carried into my work now as a consultant. I did meaningful work and was meeting with clients from Day 1. To get that level of exposure to executives, to be in the room during the decision-making process and see how they think, to even get to give input, is a unique learning experience.”
− Sam Roston, SATOV alumni −

“I thought SATOV was the best place I could have worked at in my first role after school. It’s hard to match the breadth of experience across industries and business problems, and the range of amazing people I’ve met along the way in all sorts of businesses and in all roles. Just be prepared to work hard before you sign. Call me if you have any doubts.”
− Kuba Soltysiak, SATOV alumni −
