“SVM has been a fantastic partner for us as we’ve gotten our brand firmly established. We appreciate all their hard work, patience, professionalism and expertise…we absolutely could not have done it without them. They simply have an amazing team.”

Dan Talati, Chief Strategy Officer, AEVEX Aerospace

“We are a young company, but we have substantial backing from major institutions (JPMorgan, Bank of America, Bank of New York, American Express, and Well Fargo). Our work requires us to be externally facing to major financial institutions as well as their partners, so our presentation is incredibly important. As we’re NY-based, we compared SVM to a few top New York firms and I think their work has been as-good-to-better while being more cost-effective and easier to work with.”

James Kovacs, Head of Strategy and Finance, Trusight
