Gary M. Giallonardo, Managing Director & Founder
Giallonardo created Industrial Visions Company (IVC) in 2001 as a business development advisory geared to the unique needs of small to medium-sized, closely held, business-to-business (B2B) service providers and manufacturers. Many IVC clients are family and investor-owned. IVC increases client revenues, profitability, and overall value through detailed research, analysis, LEAN planning and process development, and implementation services.
Holding a BSE from Princeton University and an MBA in marketing and finance from the University of Pittsburgh, Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business, Giallonardo founded IVC based on his awareness of the disadvantages many small firms experience by not having the knowledge-based decision-making resources available through a trusted and affordable outside business development resource.
Through IVC, Giallonardo functions as a client’s primary strategist and implementation manager, utilizing the skills and expertise of additional affiliates as needed for the specific situation. And when necessary, Giallonardo will lead and manage Marketing & Sales Departments on clients’ behalf to grow profitable sales.
