Partnering with leadership to make better decisions.

Areas of focus:

How engagements work

Work is scoped from where you are to where you want to go. Engagements are designed around outcomes, not rigid timelines.

Listen & align

Understand your goals, constraints, and what success looks like for your business.

Diagnose & design

Identify gaps in leadership, structure, market approach, or operations, and propose what to change.

Build & embed

Work alongside your team to put the changes in place, so the team can run them without us.

90-day follow-up

Check that the plan was carried out as agreed and that it brought about the effect the business wanted. What we learn starts the next cycle.

Adige Consulting alpine brand art

Grant Smith, Managing Partner

Grant formalized Adige Consulting in 2023 after years of informal business consulting.

Grant began his career at financial institutions like UBS and Merrill Lynch. After graduate business school, he worked for Banca Profilo / Spinnaker Investment Fund and later a boutique mergers and acquisitions firm, then at multiple startup companies in operations-based roles. To take a break from being a mercenary capitalist, he pursued his lifelong dream of joining the U.S. military.

Military leadership shapes how Adige works: clear priorities, accountability, and follow-through. Now he brings the lessons from these varied experiences together to help business owners.

He holds undergraduate business degrees from the University of Utah, a graduate degree in corporate finance from SDA Bocconi, and a graduate degree in international relations from American University.
