My resounding successes leading Sales, Marketing, Operations and R&D teams ranging from start-ups to multi-billion dollar public companies for over 3 decades, has lead my partner and I to engage in a full time consulting and executive search offering. As Principal Consultant in To The Tipping Point, LLC, and Managing Director of Sanford Rose Associates-Pen Bay, I have taken the primary client facing responsibility for these two naturally related businesses and tied change management to executive search.    

As a well known and respected manager, mentor and builder of highly motivated, productive and successful teams' I have interviewed hundreds of potential employees and the organizations that I have built have well below industry average personnel turnover.  Not surprisingly a number of the managers I developed have gone on to become senior managers themselves, with two having become CEOs of small companies.  I now intend to help others do the same.

I have partnered with Margaret, my wife of 39 years, who is a registered Medical Technologist and an extraordinary "sensor."   Her insight into interpersonal interactions and scrupulous note taking ability, assures smoothly run and productive evaluation and brainstorming sessions, and impactful review presentations. 

If you work with us to improve the stability, focus and effectiveness of your organization's internal and customer facing and support teams, I am sure that you will be delighted with the outcome. 

Sincerely,

Walter Brandes

“I have worked with Walter for over 5 years at Promega and Thermo Fisher. I have trained hundreds of salespeople and sales managers in North America, Europe and China. I don't know of anyone who is better at developing their people or building/recreating a world-class team. Walter understands how to select the right people, define the goals, outcomes and expectations, get everybody on the same playbook and train, motivate and hold his people accountable. He has always been successful at hitting both the revenue and margin targets in highly competitive markets. He has been a pleasure to work with.” March 21, 2008
