”Highly professional and competent team, I strongly recommend working with them.

Louis CarpentierPresident of INNOTEX Inc.

”I had the pleasure of working with SATOV on developing a comprehensive strategy plan for our organization, and the experience was nothing short of transformative. From the outset, SATOV demonstrated an exceptional ability to understand our unique challenges and goals. Their strategic insights were both innovative and actionable, and their collaborative approach ensured that our entire team felt engaged and valued throughout the process. SATOV went above and beyond to provide clear guidance, practical tools, and a roadmap that has already begun yielding positive results. Thanks to their expertise and professionalism, we now have a clear vision and actionable steps to achieve our objectives.

Claire MorrisChief Operating Officer, Vista Services

”Mark and his team were excellent to work with. They were regimented while keeping things fun and exciting. I was impressed with how quickly they could drill down to brass tacks after a brain storming session. They were organized, they challenged internal perceptions and they were very detail oriented and they presented themselves as though they were actively a part of our team - and in truth, they were!

Travis LuitingVP, Dust Control at Da-Lee Group

”I've engaged SATOV at both Hampstead Park Capital and Sagard Capital. They mobilize fast and get us the fact-based insights we need to make investment decisions. They’ve also quickly gained the trust of management teams in our portfolio and driven value creation initiatives. Thanks for all the help over the years!

Dan FriedbergManaging Partner of Hampstead Park Capital Management

”SATOV developed a growth strategy in the retail services industry for one of our portfolio companies. SATOV’s strategic thinking was top notch, and it was coupled with practical and actionable recommendations that enabled us and the company to see a clear path to growth.

Joe ShlesingerManaging Director of Callisto Capital, Former Managing Director of Bain Canada

Pete SamsonManaging Partner of Ironbridge Equity Partners

”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. RawjiFormer Chairman of the Board Heart and Stroke Foundation

”Thank you for SATOV’s strategic help, advice and partnership along the way. We couldn’t have accomplished the turnaround without you.
