What Do NikeID, Scotch Pop-Up and GearBoss all have in common?
Portofino & Associates!

There are some fundamental differences that separate Portofino from traditional consultants. Differences that bring you the capability of a deep, world-class consulting firm without the cost, agenda or ego.
The key is the Portofino Associates Model.
Most of Portofino's associates continue to work in their respective fields. Not only does this mean that they are continually adding to their own skill sets, but also it means that they are not looking to consulting jobs for their wages.

With time and reputations being precious, every associate is selective about only accepting projects where they can maximize their time and deliver a significant value. And when they are done they are done and not hovering around trying to tap you for another project.
