StarAnchor principals were involved in numerous process and performance improvement functions as a result of being the corporate experts on quality management.

Having known and worked with the principals of StarAnchor for nearly 15 years, in numerous capacities and on a wide variety of projects, I can attest to their abilities. They are quick to assess and understand the critical drivers of business situations. Their approach relies on detailed analysis of the opportunity, challenging the implicit assumptions made by other observers, keeping the valid ones and incorporating new approaches wherever appropriate. The results are consistently superior to the previous approach, and yield business models, organizations, strategies and processes that are "faster, better, and cheaper" than before StarAnchor's involvement. Their abilities are broadly applicable, and of particular benefit to those interested in innovation and its commercialization.- Travis J., senior executive of multiple former client companies, now Owner of major regional service firm. |

I am routinely faced with issues that range from globally applied processes to local business improvement, from theoretical growth development concepts to the design of basic performance measurements. Each one is radically different from the others but all must end up with practical solutions. Reaching those solutions requires innovative thought, flexibility, breadth of vision and ready access to relevant information that tests core assumptions. For over 15 years it has been my pleasure to deal with principals of StarAnchor when faced with many of these challenges. They are my sounding board for ideas. A weather vane for validating what will work and what won't. Whether developing a new strategy or designing a complex implementation plan, StarAnchor has the ability to cut to the core quickly, evaluate competing ideas, formulate a workable solution and effectively communicate their recommendations. They are, for me, an invaluable external resource.- Rick T., Vice President - Quality Management, Schindler Management AG. |

In an engagement more than 6 years ago, StarAnchor principals implemented innovative process changes in my manufacturing facility. As a result, processes experienced order-of-magnitude improvement and our overall capacity more than doubled, without the expenditure of budgeted and approved additional capital. More importantly, they went beyond design of the improvement and participated in leadership roles in the implementation until it was complete. Along the way, we encountered some problems that had not been part of the scope of the engagement, which they also solved willingly and effectively. Further still, they made certain that the knowledge transfer for the innovations was also complete. As a result, I have been able to apply the same improvements in multiple subsequent opportunities, with several employers, with the same results. For this reason, I have kept in close contact with StarAnchor, and count them among my most significant business resources whenever innovation is required, problems mount, or opportunities emerge..- Joe W., Manufacturing manager, same position at former client company. |

I have known the StarAnchor principals for more than 10 years. We first met when they approached me with one of the most innovative and uniquely structured opportunities I had ever encountered as an investment banker. Within weeks, we had approved a value of $500 million dollars. Since that time, I have maintained close contact with StarAnchor and consider them a valued resource whenever opportunities emerge requiring expertise at innovation commercialization or early-stage development. I have referred clients to them, with completely satisfactory results, and believe that anyone who engages them will benefit from the experience.- Lance J., former regional officer for global investment bank, now President and Owner of Recycling Aggregate Products and Front Range Oil and Gas. |

Having met and come to know the StarAnchor principals, they were my first contacts when the opportunity to rejuvenate my former industrial company's brand came up. Their work was focused, insightful, professional, and effective. I am confident of their abilities, especially in achieving rapid results for commercializing new opportunities. Their approach to early stage situations is extraordinary, powerful, effective, and unique. I expect to engage them in the future whenever opportunities arise. - Jim D., former senior executive for global industrial company. |

I first met the StarAnchor principals in a start-up in the United Kingdom. Their work on strategy, quality, and organization was exemplary in its innovation, insight, and capital efficiency. Since then, we have worked together on other assignments for subsequent employers of mine - all in early stage situations. Without fail, their work is professional, effective, efficient, innovative and successful. I consider them important business resources, and recommend their abilities to anyone who may have need for development or management of innovation in a corporate environment, or commercialization of innovation in an early stage situation.- Duncan P., Vice President for major regional service organization. |
