Our Story

The Genesis

After having first met at UC Berkeley - Danish and Zargham have collectively consulted US companies for crisis management, capital markets, and growth advisory - in various sectors: real estate, fintech, energy, digital infrastructure, and cannabis - including as senior executives at a private family office in the United States.
‍
Their professional experience led them down a journey of helping dynamic businesses in multiple sectors. In the process, they discovered this vacuum of encyclopedic knowledge for (i) medium-sized enterprises and (ii) early-to-growth stage companies and (iii) regional enterprises - all stemming from a lack of access to institutional-grade resources. This discovery was the genesis of CIEL.

The Evolution

Investigating and solving for problems faced by stakeholders and decision makers in complex restructure, reorganization and crisis management challenges, we witnessed how fundamental and strategic failures in businesses were stemming from improper business management - operational inefficiencies, mismanaged expectations, ill-informed and ill-strategized decision making, to name a few.

Over the last eight years, we have built unique capabilities by helping businesses investigate, implement, and monitor strategic corporate initiatives. To do so efficiently, we optimize all functions contributing to informed and deliberate decision-making at each level of our clients' businesses, from accounting, stakeholder management, marketing, corporate finance, and M&A, to name a few.

The Future

We continue to grow by bringing and retaining the best-in-class, seasoned industry and functional experts under one roof to provide our clients with one-stop financial and management consulting solutions that unlock their inherent potential.
