About
We have been trusted advisors to CEOs and business leaders for more than 25 years, first as senior executives in the technology and consumer products and services sectors and now as strategy consultants with Silicon Valley-based Invisor Consulting LLC. We are passionate about solving complex problems, conceiving breakthrough ideas that deliver results and achieving enduring success for our clients.
Using proven methods that have helped countless executives and companies, we quickly identify critical factors holding back business growth and leadership performance. Working with CEOs and their leadership teams to determine necessary strategic, operational and organizational changes, we develop practical action plans that are uniquely tailored to deliver sustainable growth.
Engaging with executives across the organization, we bring insight and clarity to bear on their most important issues, opportunities and decisions. Our methods are flexible and scalable for clients big and small across all geographies and markets. And, we have a proven track record of “getting it right” and delivering game-changing results.
What separates us from other strategic advisors and management consulting firms?
Experience, innovation and passion. As former senior executives for disruptive technology companies and big consumer brands, innovation is in our DNA. We bring that and a passion for turning complex problems into success stories to our consulting practice. And, as Blue Dots Partners, we are part of a network of heavy hitters from companies like Apple, Cisco, Microsoft and Oracle.
Truth and integrity. We don’t waste time, mince words or use management jargon. We never let obstacles like the status quo or organizational dysfunction get in the way of finding the truth and devising the best strategies to meet our client’s needs. And we always tell them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.
Measurable results with no surprises. We don’t just help clients solve challenging problems, make smarter decisions and create innovative strategies that achieve lasting results – we do all that on time and on budget. And we have a flexible fee program so our services are accessible to all organizations, from global enterprises and startups to small businesses and non-profits.

Testimonials
"Steve quickly identified primary issues and opportunities and worked with our team to determine necessary changes in our strategy, organization and processes. Within days it was as if he had spent years in our business. I value his experience, clarity, insight and his willingness to tell me what I need to hear."
- Brad van Dam, President & CEO, Marich Confectionery Company"Steve removes the fluff and gets right to his point, sharing what others might feel but don’t have the guts to say. Whether I agree or not, I can always count on an original opinion that leaves me thinking."
- Tim Leman, Chairman & CEO, Gibson"Since Tobak 'grew up' in the tech industry he deeply understands technology and its applications. I've never worked with a better business strategist."
- Bruce McWilliams, CEO of Bossa Nova Robotics, former CEO of Tessera Inc., now Xperi"Steve Tobak gets it right about leadership and all of its challenges."
- Mark V. Hurd, CEO of Oracle"Anyone running a company—high-tech or otherwise—will treasure Steve Tobak’s advice. He provides insights that clearly spell out what it takes to be successful in a competitive world."
- Philippe Kahn, CEO of Fullpower Technologies, founding CEO of Borland"I particularly appreciate that Steve consistently takes a strong position that causes one to reflect on and challenge their own core beliefs."
- Doug Mack, CEO of Fanatics"American business has become more about gaining funding and headlines than about gaining customers. Investors and startup parties are sexy; controlling costs and building a team are trivial. Don't be fooled. Steve Tobak certainly isn't; he is a trusted source in a sea of pretenders."
- Rick Myers, Founder and CEO, Talent Zoo"Tobak's a great strategist. He would certainly be on my short list as one of The Valley’s best for companies seeking advice about their corporate, marketing or positioning strategy."
- Phil Dauber, Former CEO, Memorex, nCHIP; COO, Hal ComputerServices
