American Crystal Sugar Company Testimonial
“Versique brought two things that I expected and one that I didn’t. He supplied the expertise our board needed to do a very important and rather rare task. Their research and connections provided many qualified candidates, And, as a bonus, his guidance gave the board confidence. Their thoroughness and diligence were key to making the board feel confident that the process was professional and complete. I would not hesitate to call Versique again if the need arises.”
