Bio
David Stockar
I had the pleasure to work with Gordon for several years while he was in his role as a project manager at DuPont. He is extremely hard working, creative and personable. Clients appreciate his sincerity and customer focus. Gordon takes the time to understand his clients and to get to know them as a trusted advisor. I'd be glad to work with Gordon again.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Gordon since we were teammates at DuPont Sustainable Solutions (DSS) back in 2011. We were engaged in delivering complex process safety management consulting solutions to key North American O&G clients. What impresses me most about him is his ability to sort through all the inconsequential clutter and focus on what really matters. He is also able to present complex concepts in clear and easy to understand terms to all levels of an organization. I have no hesitation of recommending Gordon to any high performance team/organization.

We help companies that move stuff or make stuff increase profit. We work directly with the owners and managers, and we’re also brought in by investment bankers and private equity firms either before a deal, during operational due diligence or immediately after a merger and acquisition (M&A) event. We identify, quantify and unlock the hidden value of a company’s operations. We’ll find hidden value in the entire supply chain and the entire procure-to-pay process. If you fix these issues… Show more We help companies that move stuff or make stuff increase profit.

We identify, quantify and unlock the hidden value of a company’s operations. We’ll find hidden value in the entire supply chain and the entire procure-to-pay process. If you fix these issues before you sell the business, your typical 2X - 3X ROI grows to 11X - 18X when you sell for 5X-6X earnings. We focus on three main areas: • Continuous Improvement - We teach your staff to use Lean and Six Sigma techniques to streamline your operations. Your staff will use tools such as kaizen events and business process mapping notation to continuously improve operations. • Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) - We help your staff develop and implement the Behavioral Safety and Process Safety Management (PSM) systems to keep your employees out of the hospital and off of Workers' Compensation. You will improve moral and improve the bottom line. • Operational Due Diligence - We help private equity firms and investment bankers get higher deal value. We can identify, quantify and fix hidden costs in a target asset and help deliver a higher ROE to your investors. adelsbergconsulting.com Show less We help companies that move stuff or make stuff increase profit.
