Our Experience

Each Sveltos advisor has an extensive understanding of the mechanics, process and science of sales and/or marketing. Each has practised their “art” in a variety of industry sectors.

These include:

  • Consumer electronics
  • Embedded, cloud and desktop software solutions
  • IT hardware
  • Financial Services
  • Consumer Goods
  • Beverages

The breadth of industry sectors and markets we have worked in enable us to provide each client with a wider perspective on how to execute plans (the art).

However, at Sveltos we are far more than just sales and marketing experts. We have run businesses. We have managed teams. We understand the challenges that leading a business brings. When you engage our help, you get far more than “just” a sales and marketing advisor.

With local and international experience, our team provides deep understanding in our fields.
