The Socol Group

Peter Y. Li, President & CEO
Nexcelom Bioscience

• "Jerry is a natural business advisor and coach. He looks at issues from a perspective that results from extensive experience of running businesses, and he shares his insight. Jerry asks great questions, often tough ones, that make you think and bring out your best ideas. He has made tremendous positive impact for us on capturing business opportunities, improving sales processes, and working effectively with people."

Michael Restuccia, President & CEO
VOmax

• "I met Jerry at The CEO forum sponsored by SBANE. 'I would be more apt to punch you in the face than slap you on the back,' says it all. Jerry's direct, no-nonsense approach to solving simple and complex business problems has helped VOmax get more focused. Jerry has helped us through a complex financing transaction, human resource issues and got us laser-focused on sales. I would recommend The Socol Group to almost any size company looking to improve their operations and grow their top line revenue."

Andrew Paradise, CEO
AisleBuyer, LLC

• "Jerry is an amazing coach and sometimes 'business shrink.' He has held a wide variety of management roles in companies, ranging from start-ups to publicly traded. ...In doing so, [he] has developed an incredible breadth of experience that he uses to provide value-added insight on business problems—from the more mundane, like performance reviews, to the mission critical, such as strategic tradeoffs. I've found him to be a valuable resource both personally and professionally."

Christopher Buono CMCA, AMS, President
Premier Property Solutions, LLC

• "Jerry has been a tremendous help to my business and a large part of our success. It's comforting knowing that whatever issues I'm having, he's more than likely been down the same road with a business of his own. He is always able to offer fresh, innovative ideas, and able to provide creative and unique solutions to any situation."

Todd Gershkowitz, Managing Director
Three Lens Advisors, LLC

• "Jerry Socol has been an invaluable advisor to me as I have been going through the process of launching two new businesses. Jerry's counsel on how to deal with issues ranging from business strategy to people management have been insightful and pragmatic, and I would recommend him to anyone who is starting or running a business and values a fresh and objective point of view."

Angelo Firenze, Founder
Angelato's

• "Before working with Jerry, I didn't have the time for strategic thinking, since I was so involved in the day-to-day operations of the business. Jerry is just fantastic to work with and has provided me tremendous peace of mind. I found out quickly that Jerry had seen the issues I was confronting before, based on his knowledge and experience. Jerry is outstanding at keeping me on track and is a really good coach. He is more than a sounding board, but someone who provides specific practical value."

CEO of a Pharmaceutical Company

• "Jerry's counsel is concise, relevant and actionable. He offers a unique blend of advice based upon decades of real experience, as well as an adaptable personality that knows when to listen and when to call for action. He knows my strengths and weaknesses, and provides thoughts and advice that I am comfortable using in the office with my employees or in the boardroom with my directors. I feel lucky to have found him. He has played a key role in my transition from a senior executive to a highly effective CEO. Jerry is the guy you want in your corner."

Satisfied Law Firm

• "Jerry quickly identified and articulated the personnel issues that needed to be addressed. He offered suggestions and constructive criticisms that were helpful and doable. Even though he has worked with large companies, he was able to appreciate the unique aspects of a small law firm and our need to be efficient while still dealing with the employees' personal issues."
