WHY?

As a team of industry veterans, we’ve experienced first-hand the lack of options for companies seeking outside strategy. Whether it’s academics who have never sat in your shoes or consulting firms that hand you off to junior partners and step away after strategy formation; companies are often left to stumble through the most onerous aspect of achieving success – implementation.

Mainline addresses this gap; distilling decades in the trenches leading Operations, Sourcing, M&A, Sales, and Management Consulting into strategies and execution that drives results. We stay with you every step of the way, from initial discovery to close; Because your success is our success.
