Our Clients
Schawbel's client base ranges from startups to multinational companies with global businesses.
In many instances, these multinational operations look to Schawbel to execute new growth and value creation plans while keeping existing management focused on core business activities. We also have extensive experience with privately held and family-owned companies and their unique requirements for growth and exit strategies.

Engagements longer than 90 days are modularized with associated fixed fees for a consultant's time along with key milestones.
Several clients have created a "virtual company". Schawbel staffed all functions of the client's division/company, allowing for rapid deployment of resources with no fixed expenses; a true "try before you hire" investment model.
Fees for project work have a wide range to reflect the size, duration, and complexity of the work required.
Payment of fees has ranged from standard payments to a combination of fees plus commissions and/or success bonuses, to equity in a given company for the value of work completed.
