Client Testimonials

“I engaged Dr. Sugintas to help navigate my company’s largest GPO opportunity to-date in addition to an important partnership discussion with a strategic supplier. I cannot overstate the value that she created for my company through her swift appraisal of our current strengths and areas for improvement. We retained her to coach myself and my senior staff through two critical meetings, where she leveraged her deep expertise to advise us on both strategic positioning of my company, but also how to tactically execute. As a result of Nora's engagement, we were invited to an exclusive GPO contract and established a foundation for a new strategic partnership.”
