Yale MBA, Multi-Time Successful Business Founder and Ex-Corporate Exec I have 15 years experience in strategy consulting, loyalty/rewards marketing, and have created several successful businesses. I've consulted to numerous startups at various stages from pre-seed through Series D. I have a strong breadth of industry expertise having completed projects and built businesses in travel, financial services, real estate, retail, grocery, gas. I've created rewards programs around the world and managed Membership Rewards partnerships at American Express as well as the Black, Platinum, and Gold Cards and developed a portfolio-wide strategy. I have my MBA from Yale University and my BA from Cornell University. I'm fast and hyper-reliable (that's the New Yorker in me) and pride myself on my multitasking ability (I used to have a day "corporate" job with four of my own successful businesses on the side). I believe in developing a tight plan up front for every project and really focus on iterative development - I very much like establishing checkpoints with clients as I want them to be part of the process. In terms of industries, there's not an industry I haven't advised on - everything from retail to financial services to advertising to media to sciences. I love having diversity in my projects and developing the optimal business strategy. I'm also a game theory expert so I always very much focus on the competition and making sure the businesses I advise on are positioned appropriately. Personally, I'm a lifelong athlete (basketball, football, soccer, tennis), avid traveler (100+ countries and counting), and love food. I also used to be a professional poker player which paid for both college and grad school. - Hablo español - Je parle français As I'm newer to Thumbtack, here are a few blurbs from my clients: "Athan just gets business. I've worked with him on several different projects and he always has an incredible way of distilling the problem and developing a smart strategy." - Tara, Brand/Business Model Agency Owner "Athan is the consummate New York business person - it's no coincidence he's so good at helping others. He's gritty and reliable. He always delivers" - Kevin, Real Estate Business Owner "Hire him and give him some working space - he will surprise you." - Brian, former boss. "There are not many people who can wear so many hats simultaneously - Athan is a rare person." - Tom, Strategy ConsultantSee more

Franklin M. says, "Mitch, the CEO of Tiny Ventures, is an insightful, smart, savvy and efficient provocateur. I use the term provocateur because his ideas on how to jump-start cash flows for my start-up company using an innovative online-platform completely revolutionized our business model by i) identifying core but previously overlooked competitive advantages of our business and ii) then creating a business model/internet platform that leverages such advantages to create consistent cash flows. Mitch is a consummate professional, who knows his field and has mastered the use of image, professionalism and salesmanship for optimal impact on the target audience. He has translated these skills into value for his clients in Tiny Venture Lab; creating bespoke products in the form of business concepts and attendant technology platforms that optimize revenue growth and lay the foundation for larger operational capacity. I encourage any entrepreneur in the start-up community to have a conversation with Mitch and Tiny Venture Labs."See more

Tatiana F. says, "I’m an intuitive and sovereignty coach, and before meeting Louis Brantmeyer, I had no business experience and hadn’t made a single dollar from my coaching. After attending one of his events and stepping into one-on-one mentorship with him, everything shifted—within my very first weekend of sales, I generated $6,500 in just 24 hours. Louis supported me in expressing my true voice and mission, while also helping me reprogram my relationship with business so it felt aligned, easeful, and empowering. Through his guidance, I stepped into both my feminine flow and my capacity as a confident businesswoman. He has been an incredible resource and catalyst, opening me to an entirely new reality of what’s possible for my life and work. If you’re a heart-centered woman who wants to stay connected to your truth while building real momentum in business, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Louis and attending his events."See more

Mitzi G. says, "We've been working with NAS since 2013 and our experience has been very positive. When in need of his services, Alex is knowledgeable, reliable and prompt. He has even gone one step further, by being on standby in case we needed him. He has worked extensively to accommodate our system, which is tailored and uses an older software, to the current windows operating system. He took care of the whole physical migration of all our computers when we changed locations. This included organizing and re-programming many areas to be able to work efficiently. He also created a Host environment, which allowed us to condense 6 servers into one. This has helped us enormously in so many areas. We would definitely recommend Alex/NAS."See more
