How Gustaf works

Wernberg & Partners is the advisory platform. Gustaf is the advisor who runs the engagement. Clients work with him directly, and specialist expertise is brought in from the wider network only where an engagement genuinely requires it.

Engagements typically start with a commercial objective and the economics underneath it, move through the decisions that carry the most consequence, and continue into execution: partner conversations, negotiations, pricing and launch.

The premise is simple: senior advice is more useful when the person giving it also understands what execution looks like.
