What Differentiates Us

Our Story

How We Started

Think’s journey began in 2004, much like many great American enterprises—born from humble beginnings in a suburban garage. Founded by Tony Gruebl, a well-established Chief Operating Officer, the company emerged from a clear frustration with the consulting landscape, particularly the alarming failure rates of projects, which could soar above 70%. Driven by a mission to solve complex problems and ensure a successful consultive approach, Think Consulting was established.

Initially, Think’s consultants focused on rescuing failing projects and assisting with merger integrations. The innovative approach, characterized by a commitment to execution rather than merely strategy, quickly drew attention. As word spread about the impressive success rates, Think Consulting gained traction within the industry. The dedication to crafting custom solutions, tailored to align with the unique culture of each organization, positioned Think as a leader in the field. This success led to the publication of two impactful books, “Bare Knuckled Project Management” and “The Red Pill Executive,” which detail Think’s distinctive processes and insights.

As it continued to grow, Think identified additional opportunities within the market, allowing expansion into various areas such as staffing solutions, interim executive placement, government contracts, technology integration, and broader management consulting services.

In 2020, Think expanded its operations by acquiring Ventrue LLC, a shared services company located in Naples, Florida. This acquisition facilitated Think’s entry into new markets and strengthened its national presence. More recently, Think has partnered with Valtus Alliance, a leading global provider of Executive Interim Management services. Through this partnership, both organizations aim to leverage their combined strengths to support businesses in maintaining a competitive edge on a global scale. The collaboration also allows for the sharing of resources and best practices, ultimately benefiting clients in nearly 30 key countries.

Today, Think has evolved into a prominent international management consulting firm, employing over 250 professionals. Think specializes in post-merger integration, operations and technology transformation, interim executive and staffing placement, management consulting and program execution tailored to the diverse needs of both large and small organizations. Think’s journey is defined by an unwavering commitment to tackling the toughest challenges head-on, turning obstacles into opportunities for our clients, and embodying the entrepreneurial spirit that ignited the firm’s inception.
