What Our Clients Say About Us
MATT GREENFIELD, MANAGING PARTNER
Sherpa, consigliere, or just plain great advisor. These are all terms that I have heard applied to Mark Miller and Good Harbor Partners. I have seen firsthand the quality of GHP's work: the companies Mark has introduced me to are well- prepared and understand how to navigate our process.
GIDEON STEIN, FOUNDER & CEO
GHP'S work in support of LightSail has been instrumental to our success in transitioning from an early growth stage. Working with them has definitely exceeded our expectations.From finding strategic partners to identifying the right person to take on key senior role at LightSail, GHP came through. On every occasion, as a function of deep relationships and respect in the industry, they have been able to get us in front of the right people, at the right time.
ADAM GOLDBERG, CEO
In moments of sheer triumph, and even more importantly during challenging interludes, GHP has stepped up every single time for me and our business. Of particular importance to me as CEO are activities surrounding strategic partnerships and growth, both of which require real-world experience and uncommon savvy.
