Client Perspectives

What clients say about the work

Clients value both the evidence C Squared E brings to important decisions and the judgment, adaptability, and direct involvement Chad brings to the engagement.

CEO, $20 million B2B2C SaaS company

“Chad is numbers-driven, as opposed to relying on feelings. It’s great to feel things, but it’s a different thing altogether to support feelings with actual data.”

GM, SVP of Strategy, $80 million computer-peripherals company

“Chad can represent the needs of a particular company and be in sync with different leadership styles right from the start. He can be counted on to provide candid and honest opinions, and he was always a trusted advisor.”

CEO, global supply chain management software company

“It is never easy to decide what strategic programs and markets we should be investing in—or not investing in. Chad brings us a set of tools and experience that lead us to sound conclusions about our potential funding areas. Chad is a great asset to our team because he allows us to focus on the day-to-day of running the business, while he conducts the research to help us ensure we are ready for what is next in our marketplace.”
