About Cliff Link

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE I am a senior executive with leadership in business development strategy; unit growth and expansion, financial, equity and succession planning, and company team building. My services include advising and coaching senior executives and managers, screening executive candidates, and providing career advice and direction. My clients range from the largest of Fortune 500 companies; to single unit retail entrepreneurs who are aggressive and have a desire to grow and expand their companies. I assess company strengths based on their people and whether the right people are in the right positions. I am a planner, so I believe in forecasting future challenges and developing solutions before they arise. My passion is to help entrepreneurs grow their companies; by leveraging a direct, brutally honest, and often provocative approach to business advisory services - all with the highest level of integrity and confidentiality. Sensei () noun, sen·sei \\ˈsen-ˌsā\\\"one who has gone before; who has already walked the path that you are travelling along; who has knowledge and life experience to guide you on your way”. “Business success is about taking care both of today and tomorrow: if you only take care of today, there will be no tomorrow, but if you ignore today and only look at tomorrow, you won’t have a tomorrow either”.
