Dan Casterella
CEO, American Christmas
“Ted has become a true leader in my business– he’s the operations figure at my company. My CFO has worked with a Big 5 consulting firm, and he will tell you that Ted is the best consultant he has seen. He is able to adapt to companies and people extremely quickly, gaining their trust and running with it. That’s a very unique skill.”
“The methodology to unpack tremendously complex situations.”
Jean Newton, Ph.D.

“Ted’s mind is highly analytical, kind of like a laser beam. You can have this problem swirling around in your head and you don’t know how to articulate it; he’ll listen to you ramble for a while, and then he will establish clarity and comprehensively lay out your issue. It’s quite remarkable!”
