entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs are unique individuals. Visionaries. Hard workers. Creative problem-solvers. And start-up and growth-stage companies have unique needs.

At Corinthian, we too are entrepreneurs. Our President, Laura Illig, left her established position at Citibank in New York and London and founded her own firm. With an MBA in entrepreneurship, Laura is a regular adviser to growth-stage companies and a frequent judge at business plan competitions.

We recently helped an early stage health club franchise develop and hone its strategy and marketing plan. We also frequently serve as coaches and mentors to young entrepreneurs and conduct training sessions aimed at improving their oral and written communications vis-à-vis the media and potential sources of funding.

Corinthian advises new and growing companies – and the individuals who build and nurture them – with the following services:

• executive coaching for CEOs and other business leaders
• speechwriting
• communications and media training
• feedback for fundraising presentations to angel investors, VCs or commercial lending officers
• feedback and coaching on written business plans or prospectuses
• business plan review and analysis
• strategic plan development
• marketing research and assessments
• marketing plan development
• shadow supervision of lower-level marketing employees
• employee and management training in areas such as team-building, conflict resolution and workplace communication
• internal and employee communications
• corporate “consigliere” – business-savvy individual for new executives to bounce ideas off of and brainstorm with

Above all, however, Corinthian seeks to address the specific challenges faced by each individual client by developing customized solutions to their particular needs. We are always happy to have a no-fee strategic discussion about your organization’s goals and opportunities. Please contact us to discuss how we can help you build the foundations of your success.
