Avero's mission: independent public-sector advisory

What if the biggest growth opportunity in your consulting business isn't scaling, but in simplifying what you deliver? This week I'm talking with Abhijit Verekar, founder and CEO of Avèro Advisors, a 50-person consulting firm that's helping U.S. cities and counties modernize through smarter tech strategy. And also of course now through AI. Abhijit built his success by breaking the rules that most consultants blindly follow. He's not selling software, he's not doing implementation. He's the independent advisor that government leaders actually trust. And now he's doubling down on AI and Micro-SaaS to deliver faster results without losing what makes consulting valuable: the human experience. 

So in this episode, you're going to discover why being truly independent is your most powerful differentiator in a crowded market; how to use AI to accelerate delivery without eroding your fees and authority; and the surprising way that Abhijit turned government bureaucracy into a high-margin, moat-protected niche. 

If you ever wondered how to build a consulting business that wins hard-to-acquire clients and stays ahead of technology, this one's for you.
