Motivated by the belief that people can and must pursue challenging questions, Telesto Strategy was launched in May 2020 by CEO and founder Alex Kruzel with the vision to regenerate the planet. Building on decades of experience as a strategy consultant working with private and public sector clients globally, Alex believed that applying a strategy consulting approach to some of the planet’s most pressing challenges could enable businesses and governments alike to unlock growth in uncertainty. To this end, Telesto Strategy began serving clients in 2020 – despite the challenges posed by starting a business in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic – bringing them tailored advisory and execution support which sought to embed the core concepts of Supply Chain, Geopolitical Risk, and Climate into their strategies and operations.

From the very beginning, Telesto’s philosophy for solving client problems and driving long-term growth has been driven by scientific, evidence-based, and rigorous approaches. Unlike other consulting and advisory services, Telesto believes deeply in the indispensable value of co-building unique solutions with its clients and an inter-disciplinary approach. 

As client and market need for Telesto has grown, the Firm has bootstrapped its development, brought on an advisory board of experts from across industries and geographies, and built out a highly capable team of consultants and SMEs. What was once a three-person firm has since grown into a deeply trusted advisory and implementation partner for businesses across the U.S., Africa, and Asia.
