Advisory Services Testimonials

“Because Curt is both a consultant and a phenomenal analyst, his consulting projects quickly troubleshoot and fix the **right** things for vendors. He is both insightful and intuitive. From the perspective of a vendor, he is frustratingly right: able to see through flimsy arguments much more often than I would like. But that acuity gives a special value to his consulting work.”

“When I was General Manager of Merant’s DataDirect division, Curt Monash was an amazingly helpful advisor. Curt helped us think through our whole strategic direction; he gave us good, technically deep guidance on product features and priorities; he even went over our positioning and slide presentations line by line in a laser focused manner. The final result was significantly better.”

-- Panos Anastassiadis
CEO, Cyveillance

"When CA acquired Ingres, Curt provided tremendous competitive insight and strategic marketing acumen, and greatly influenced our decisions for the better. At the time, I was in charge of development and marketing for all of CA's DBMS and application development products; even though he was a company outsider, Curt was one of the most valuable members of my team.”
