“Tara's expertise on cash flow and operational insights were not only timely, they were invaluable. Through working with her, we were able to get clear on figuring out our cash flow and zone in on what we didn't understand. If you have the chance to work with her, take it!”

Christal Earle | Founder, CEOwww.bravesoles.life

“Mario delivered with an efficient custom-built API platform to automate processes attached to Dear Inventory and Shopify, that used to take lots of manual labour. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to streamline their operations.”

Chase Winters| Chief Performance OfficerGreenhouse Juice Co.

“Our team was so grateful to work with Tara as an advisor through the E-Commerce North program! Her on tap support and grocery expertise was exactly what we needed to move ahead and optimize operations during the acquisition of a competitor and to improve our combined buying, inventory, pricing, and sales strategies to scale our food delivery services. Tara has a deep knowledge of the food industry, knows what keeps customers coming back, and has the operational experience to provide in-depth and detailed actionable advice to help food entrepreneurs reach their vision. We especially appreciated her knowledge around surplus food and how to reduce it through streamlined buying and tech solutions. We can't wait to work with her again!”

Brianne MillerFounder & CEO, Nada

“Mario has a very rare talent - to zoom in on the micro one minute while zooming out to the macro the next. His ability to focus on the small details that make a project or organization successful is guided by an appreciation of the bigger picture whether is macroeconomic conditions or consumer trends. He is relentless when tackling a problem. He is meticulous and process oriented. And as his track record founding and scaling the Healthy Butcher demonstrates, he can attract, retain and motivate a team towards a given goal.”

Ran Goel| CEOFresh City, Mama Earth, Mabels Bakery & The Healthy Butcher

“There were times I needed her invaluable feedback or opinion for pressing matters and she would accommodate my request to meet off schedule. She provided insight into costing, negotiations, and was whenever possible she would connect me with helpful resources. As a new entrepreneur, you often question yourself and your judgement and of course that imposter syndrome crops up from time to time. Tara was always there to remind me that I am not alone with my feelings and the issues I faced were not because I was incapable, but issues she herself faced as an entrepreneur even in the mature stage of the business. I couldn’t have had a better mentor and I am a better person for having Tara as a mentor.”

Opal RoweFounder & CEO, Stush Patty

“Mario has a combination of drive, intelligence, and honesty which makes working with him a pleasure and profitable. If you need someone to manage top down with advice from legal to entrepreneurial, or to be in the trenches, gauging the needs of clients and employees alike, I would never hesitate in recommending him.”
