What Clients Say

“I've worked closely with Stratagem both when they sold my first company and when they pitched me opportunities at Documentum. In both scenarios, I’m impressed by their keen industry knowledge and first-class service. I recommend them heartily.”

— Dave DeWalt, VP Sales and Marketing, Eventus (sold to Segue Software)
later CEO of Documentum, McAfee & FireEye

“Stratagem invested heavily in understanding our business completely, honing our strategic positioning to obtain the highest valuation. Our attorney commented they have represented clients with many different advisors, but have never seen an advisor so engaged, knowledgeable and helpful as Stratagem.”
