Bio
Joe Derkos
Antonio was my boss, and mentor during my time with Roland Berger Strategy Consultants. I am very fortunate to have benefited from Antonio's mentoring both during, and after moving on from Berger. He interviewed me, brought me on board and helped me to significantly improve my capabilities as a consultant. We worked together directly on several projects, and also worked on separate projects independently. In all cases, Antonio nurtured and encouraged me while offering sharp and insightful feedback to ensure I was giving my best, and moving forward at every opportunity. He's a great guy that I'm proud to know, am privileged to have worked with, and even more privileged to continue a relationship with.
Chris Ollenberger
While at CMLC, I retained Antonio to assist CMLC in putting together marketing strategies and consumer segment identification for both direct customers and indirect customers of CMLC. Antonio's team delivered a quality product, working with CMLC's team collaboratively, understood managments goals and concerns and was highly professional. The end product was key to East Village's success in finding two great builders to date, and setting up the initial strategies for marketing to the end consumer.
