Management Consulting - Strategy Consulting

Consulting That Drives Decisions, Execution, and Results

 Gross & Company provides senior-level consulting for organizations facing complexity, pressure, or change.

Our work goes beyond advice. We help owners, boards, and executive teams make better decisions, execute faster, and stabilize performance-especially when the business can’t afford mistakes. This is consulting for situations where judgment matters.

When Clients Engage Us

  Organizations typically call Gross & Company when:

  • Growth has stalled despite strong demand
  • Margins are eroding and no one agrees why
  • The business has outgrown its leadership structure
  • Private equity ownership has changed expectations
  • Technology exists, but commercialization has failed
  • A transaction, reorganization, or leadership transition is underway
  • Internal teams lack the experience to fix what’s broken 


If the problem is obvious, political, or uncomfortable, we’re usually brought in.

Core Consulting Areas

 Strategic Growth & Commercialization

Turn strategy into revenue, including applied AI and automation to:

  • Improve decision quality, market analysis, and execution
  • Create new growth strategies and execution planning 
  • Market entry and go-to-market development
  • Pricing, channel, and customer concentration strategy
  • Commercialization of advanced and industrial technologies
  • Apply AI as a tool where it materially improves speed, clarity, or performance 
  • New business and division launches


This work is practical, grounded in operating experience, and focused on measurable outcomes.

Turnaround & Stabilization Support

   When performance is deteriorating, speed matters.

  • Rapid assessment of financial and operational health 
  • Short-term stabilization plans 
  • Leadership triage and role clarity 
  • Cash flow, margin, and execution control 
  • Board and lender-facing advisory

 

This work often overlaps with interim or fractional executive leadership when hands-on control is required.

M&A & Transaction Advisory

   We support transactions before, during, and after the deal.

  • Pre-acquisition operational and leadership due diligence
  • Post-merger integration planning and execution
  • Interim leadership during ownership transitions
  • Restructuring and divestiture support
  • Independent perspective for boards and investors
  •  

Clients value our ability to connect strategy, operations, and people — not just spreadsheets.

Board & Executive Advisory

   Sometimes the business doesn’t need more help — it needs clarity.

  • Independent executive and board advisory 
  • Strategic decision support 
  • CEO and founder coaching 
  • Leadership alignment during inflection points

 

We bring direct feedback, objective thinking, and operator experience to rooms where decisions matter.

How We Work

 Our consulting engagements are:

  • Senior-level: You work directly with experienced leadership, not junior teams
  • Hands-on: We engage deeply with executives and operators
  • Focused: Clear scope, priorities, and outcomes
  • Flexible: Project-based, advisory, or executive-in-the-room 
  • Results-oriented: Success is defined by impact, not activity
     

We don’t sell frameworks. We help organizations move forward.

Typical Engagement Structures

  • Targeted strategic or operational assessments
  • Project-based consulting with defined deliverables
  • Advisory retainers for owners, boards, or CEOs
  • Combined consulting + fractional executive leadership


The structure follows the problem — not a template.

Who This Is (and Is Not) For

 This is a fit if you:

  • Value experience over theory
  • Need independent judgment
  • Expect direct, candid input
  • Want progress, not presentations
  •  

This is not a fit if you:

  • Want generic strategy decks
  • Prefer consensus over clarity
  • Aren’t prepared to act on hard truths
