OUR CLIENTS SAY…

“I’ve worked with Jillian for more than a dozen years and through five spin-offs that brought great value to our stockholders.  Her knowledge of securities laws and governance matched with an unrivaled sense of urgency gave our management team a sense of safety and confidence that things would get done on time. Jillian is also enjoyable to work with and to be around, which makes her even more effective when you need to gather data from lots of people who don’t always make your priorities the top priority. I definitely feel Jillian was an integral part of our success and is a great asset for any private company that wants to be public or any public company that takes securities compliance and governance seriously.”

Shmuel Jonas, Chief Executive Officer of IDT Corporation (NYSE:IDT)

Mark Ghermezian, Member of the Board of Directors of Zedge, Inc. (NYSE American:ZDGE)

“Having effected a successful public company spin-off,  working closely with Jillian throughout the process, I have experienced her acumen and wisdom first-hand.  Her deep knowledge base and keen skills will prove invaluable for any company, public or private.”
