Retained Advisor

A CEO’s constituents, including investors, board members, clients, employees – even the balance of the senior management team – all have their own goals, needs, and agendas. With no need to promote a specific agenda, we can leverage our combined 40 years of healthcare IT and IT-enabled services experience to provide unbiased perspective, advice and guidance to help our clients tackle their strategic challenges.

Outsider Perspective. Insider Knowledge.

Through its retained advisory relationships with CEOs, ST Advisors acts as a trusted thought partner, shadow board member, or consigliere. As ST Advisors has no need to promote a specific agenda, our goal is simply to provide Outsider Perspective with Insider Knowledge helping our clients to address the strategic challenges facing their businesses. Some of our most cherished accolades come from clients who refer to us as their “brain-on-call,” “sounding board,” and “trusted advisor.”

Intellectual integrity is a core value at ST Advisors, which means we are committed to always providing our best, most thoughtful and honest advice. A CEO’s constituents, including investors, board members, clients, employees even the balance of the senior management team all have their own goals, needs, and agendas. ST Advisors’ only agenda is to serve our clients as best and as truthfully as possible.

We do this by bringing our clients “dispassionate passion.” This means we are passionate about healthcare, the companies we work with, and the work we do. However, because we sit outside daily operational challenges, we can provide dispassionate advice and guidance based on our 40 years of healthcare IT and services experience.

Examples of Outsider Perspective with Insider Knowledge in action:

  • Identify and facilitate introductions to potential partners
  • Provide ongoing input on business and capital strategy issues
  • Build company awareness among equity research analysts and investment banking firms
  • Discuss whether a potential acquisition makes strategic sense
  • Attend a meeting with deep strategic implications e.g., a meeting with a competitor who is also a potential acquirer
  • Strategize in advance of a challenging board discussion
SERVICES

ST Advisors was instrumental in our successfully finding a strategic partner. They helped us orient ourselves amid the noise in the market, serving almost as an additional board member. They enabled us to mature and clarify our strategy, sort through options and potential partners, and successfully transition the business.

William KellyCEO of Treo Solutions (2002–2014)

Working with ST Advisors is like having a close and trusted friend at the table to provide valuable insight and strategic advice.

Angie FranksCEO of Healthland (2010–2013); CEO of About Healthcare (2017-2023)

We worked with ST Advisors for eight years, during which time they became a trusted advisor to both the management and Board of NTSP. We value their opinion, input, and support, and would not engage in a strategic relationship or transaction without their consultation.
