“Entrepreneurs are great at starting up and building a business, but they often need someone with a keen eye for finance. Gloria Sica put managerial accounting processes into place that gave us a solid financial basis from which to grow. And as we grew, Gloria’s business experience helped us keep our vision for the company in focus. I always took away something of value whenever we met.”

“With new ownership and a new name, we also needed a new corporate identity. Our business covers so many different areas of high-technology manufacturing that we couldn’t describe what we do in one tagline. Gloria Sica met with our management team, and in a couple of hours, she helped us accomplish what we had been unable to do over many, many hours. She gave us a framework for discussion that looked at who we are instead of what we do. We use our new tagline ‘Built on Commitment’ in sales presentations and bids; it tells prospective customers what they can expect from us.”

“Gloria Sica was instrumental in the early development of Tripod Data Systems’ hardware business, conducting market research and developing the marketing plan for the very successful TDS Ranger handheld computer. She has a strong and varied business background and is especially skilled at mediation and problem solving. Over several years, I have worked with Gloria as a client, a colleague and a consultant, and I have always found her to be ethical, competent and insightful.”

“We hired Gloria Sica as a consultant to help us with the development of a new handheld data collection product. Her initial involvement was small and only for a few hours a week. Later when our company was in trouble, instead of walking away, Gloria offered her help. With her exceptional business and interpersonal skills, she got things under control. During those difficult times, Gloria’s enthusiasm and positive energy encouraged the team to carry on. Gloria helped us out in a tough situation. I would recommend Gloria Sica to anyone who is looking for a strong consultant with the highest business ethics.”

“Our business has been in transition from exclusively software to a combination software, hardware and support services, with our customer base expanding from local to national and international clients. The transition has happened so quickly that it surprised us. Gloria Sica helped us make sense of our transition. She framed the questions and the process for us, which gave us the freedom to focus on our answers. These meetings were very intense, and Gloria brought focus to our intensity, taking our corporate culture into account and maintaining our sense of humor. She led us through ideas, possibilities and perspectives, and we emerged with a new identity, “Bringing value to change,” that better reflects who we are now and what we’re becoming. Gloria also helped us create a rational business plan, establish accounting procedures and develop financial models. We’re now in a position where we can determine when to look for outside funding and communicate our business plan to potential investors with confidence and clarity.”
