Your growth transformation partner

End-to-end transformation delivery

We not only assess your business and develop a new strategy but also ensure its successful implementation and impact. Our engagements are typically streamlined in terms of staffing (e.g., 2-3 days total), yet they extend over a longer period compared to standard freelance or consulting engagements.

Efficient team
approach

Each engagement is led by a senior lead, supported by a sparring partner who enhances and challenges the deliverables. This collaborative method results in superior quality outcomes compared to standard freelance work.

Top-tier transformation operators

Our partners come from leading Private Equity firms, top management consulting firms, or significant operational roles. With extensive experience across industries and functional areas, we offer the ideal expertise for your needs.

Carl Wiese, Chief Revenue Officer, Poly

“During the turnaround of BlackBerry, Mitul played an instrumental role, leading a team that built a strong carrier channel business across the globe, where he personally signed strategic partnerships with tier 1 carriers. In addition, he managed the EMEA channel, delivering strong performance with double-digit YOY growth.”

Vincent Cook, CEO & Founder, Cyb3r Operations

“Mitul played a pivotal role in driving our early-stage success. In 10 months, he skillfully combined strategic insights with hands-on contributions in sales, marketing, product and strategy. This led to securing pre-seed investment, forming crucial partnerships, and steering us towards a planned Series A funding round in 2024. He is an instrumental vested long-term partner.”

Florian Bienvenu, Chief Revenue Officer, Vision-Box

“Mitul is an amazing individual. His hard work, level of customer and partner intimacy, ability to manage people and solve smoothly complex issues are extraordinary. Mitul fights for the business, for his people and for success. The guy you want with you, not against you.”

Tim Dunn, Partner, Phoenix Equity Partners

“We were very pleased with the depth and detail of the report that was produced by Fortius. It will be extremely helpful as we move into the next phase of our transaction, and we will certainly be asking them for more help in future!”

Leon Koppenol, Group Chief Information & Digital Officer

“The combination of experience, leadership skills and hands-on structural problem solving was not easy to find. Fortius delivered everything we needed, and more…”

Robert Rose, Chief Strategy Officer, Global Message Services AG

“I worked alongside Mitul for several years and would be very happy to do so again. His technical command and his diligence when meeting customer expectations were fundamental to the successful development of the largest global messaging provider of recent years.”

David Bergonzo, Vice President, Market Transformation, SAP

“Mitul’s dependability and capacity for multi-threading were extremely valuable in this demanding, project-oriented role. His polished communication skills, both written and oral, are recognised and appreciated by many and made a difference in complex, sometimes challenging environments.”

Mihir Andrei Mukherjee, Chief Executive Officer, Unipac

“Mitul is a vested leader and leads by example. I always counted on his support to help create and drive some of the largest deals we did in the UK and I can unequivocally advocate for him being the best channel leader I have had the pleasure of working with.”
