I started working with Sam because I needed help in my business to find other opportunities to expand. Sam found out about an opportunity and connected us with a large organization heading a new initiative that led us into expanding our prepared meal company into medically tailored meals and found a channel for us to pursue with a new program launched by New York State.

Angela Accomando

I have worked with more than 5,000 companies closely over my 15+ years working in international trade for the U.S. Department of Commerce covering every sector imaginable and I can say that I have met very few leaders as dedicated, knowledgable and driven as Sam Friedman. Sam is that "added secret sauce" that every global business and innovative company needs to achieve success. Sam has unlimited potential to achieve greatness in his companies, but more importantly, well balanced with integrity and human compassion in the workplace. These are real qualities needed in our current times. It has been a pleasure working and learning from Sam Friedman. Bravo Sam!

We were facing a plateau in our revenue growth and needed fresh perspectives to move forward.

He offered creative, outside the box ideas that helped us reframe the way we were thinking about growth. Thanks to Sam's guidance, we began implementing new sales strategies and made more intentional hiring decisions. His introductions to key people also opened unexpected doors. Sam’s ability to connect the dots and bring the right people together created meaningful momentum for our business.

Christian DiPalermo

CEO, CDD Strategies

I’ve known Sam since 2017, and in that time he has been an invaluable part of my business, Seriatim, Inc., particularly with digital transformation strategy. He helped me bring together and make sense of many disparate data points, ultimately allowing me to identify KPIs and hire the right vendors to translate them into a dashboard I could understand and actually use. Sam was truly instrumental in that process. He is an idea-generator and conversation-starter who sparks meaningful, big-picture thinking. Beyond his strategic expertise, Sam is a loyal friend, dependable, and a great listener—someone who can take a single idea and help you see it from multiple new angles. I have complete confidence that he can help any business owner or CEO implement ideas that create real impact. They would be fortunate to have him.
