Ivan Tesolkin Professional Overview:

I’m an independent business consultant and strategist with 13 years of experience working with 150 clients across more than 25 industries. My work focuses on business diagnostics, growth and turnaround strategy, marketing and sales, operations, product and pricing, and AI and automation.

I typically work with companies when growth has stalled, marketing is underperforming, operations have become inefficient, or the real cause of a business problem is unclear. I combine business analysis with hands-on experience to identify what is actually limiting performance, quantify the problem, and turn the findings into practical changes.

Across my projects, I’ve helped companies triple average order value, increase customer retention more than fourfold, significantly reduce customer acquisition costs, enter new markets, launch new products, and improve operational efficiency. My experience spans startups, SMBs, e-commerce, technology, aerospace and UAVs, professional services, manufacturing, and nonprofit organizations.

I’ve completed 150+ client engagements and documented 40 case studies covering measurable business outcomes across different markets and industries.
