Advisory Services
Most businesses today are under increasing pressure to do more with less. The current economic environment poses unprecedented challenges for organizations to maintain their competitive position and continue to improve the quality of their products and services.
For over a decade, as a financial business advisor, Tom Wajnert has been helping public and private company clients to navigate the changing currents. In 2001, he founded Fairview Advisors, LLC, a banking firm focused on strategic advisory and investment services. He has also been a long-time principal of The Alta Group, LLC, an international consulting firm to the financial services industry.

He provides real-world advice on strategy development, investor relations, leadership development, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, enterprise risk management, and regulatory matters.
