Who We Are

Max J. Gutsmiedl
Managing Partner
Founder
I have over 20 years as a business, sales & operations executive leader and am always looking to expand my network. I've recently started Vendome Advisory ltd. to provide Account-Based Management (ABM) and data strategy consulting to small and mid-size firms. ABM is a strategy that I have successfully deployed to reduce costs, improve client satisfaction and increase margins by 40%.
Previous to this, I was CCO at IDM, Inc., a data-driven Marketing Consultancy responsible for driving new revenue and all operational activity. It allowed me to be onsite with leading technology companies like Google Cloud, HP, and Stripe. This is something that I greatly enjoy and allows me to provide value and learn from my clients. To date, I have had the chance to work with the smartest clients in the world.
My career has provided me with various business experiences working with early-stage startups and large firms. Expert in managing and leading new product strategy ideation that ensures developing, designing, and deploying new products and services. Highly skilled at building, developing, and retaining top-talent teams. Read my recommendations, and you will find this detailed by the folks I have had the pleasure to work with.
I've flown over 1 million miles domestically and enjoy being in front of my clients, having held contractor badges with many of these companies. This has allowed me the opportunity to work collaboratively with my clients. More than just a vendor, but as an actual strategic asset to their team. This has led me to embrace an advisory and consulting practice of my own.
I enjoy amateur auto racing and international travel with my family when I'm not working.
