After 28 years of a successful business management career in three multinational companies (Procter & Gamble, Clorox and Whirlpool) across USA, Latin America and Africa, Rodolfo Artiles identified the need for companies to get help with their performance issues via someone that really understands the corporate business culture and has been facing the same issues and challenges to meet short and long term objectives. He recalls:

“I dealt with many consultants in my career and I identified several gaps in their operating model. There was a disconnection between their teams and the organizational culture of their clients, consultants were highly technical but seldom they had a hands-on experience managing businesses (putting the skin on the game), they rarely accompanied their clients through the execution of their recommendation and the costs of hiring them was extremely high” 

Based on this experience, Rodolfo decided to start a “boutique” business management group in 2016 that would address all these opportunities/gaps and would make these services available and affordable for any organization (profit and non-profit) of any size (mainly medium and small).

He carefully handpicked and invited trusted colleagues and executives across Latin America with 20-30 years of business experience in recognized multinational companies across different countries to participate in the group. The response was overwhelming, because these friends and colleagues had seen the same opportunity and coincided on the large potential to help all these businesses in the region. That is how Business Management Allied (BMA) was created
