Our Testimoniols

Gil brought deep experience and analytical rigor to our process and helped us confidently make the biggest IT decision in our company’s history.  We will certainly use Groundswell Strategies again!

Matt Clyne

Gil and his team helped us think through and articulate our IT strategic plan and ensured that it aligned with our business strategy.  An important part of the strategy called for a substantial investment in modernization and required Board approval.  Gil helped us create a series of clear, succinct messages that made it easy to present to our Board of Directors and win their approval.
