What Global Exposure does

Glexco (operating under the corporate entity Global Exposure Corp.) is a privately held, boutique advisory and consultancy firm headquartered in Los Angeles, California, founded in 2002. The firm specializes in Strategy and General Management consulting, with a particular focus on the hospitality, food & beverage, events, catering, entertainment, manufacturing, and court-appointed receivership sectors. Its client base consists of small and medium-sized enterprises with annual revenues ranging from approximately $5 million to $70 million.

The firm delivers a portfolio of advisory service modules — including strategic development and implementation, assessment and recommendations, expansion planning and execution, concept development, project management, financial analysis, restructuring and operational turnarounds, talent selection and development, and operational planning. There is no proprietary technology platform or software product; service delivery is conducted by a small team of consultants (1–10 employees) through direct, personalized engagements. The firm operates with no public pricing model and relies on project-based, quote-driven engagements typical of boutique professional services.

Glexco generates revenue through professional services fees tied to consulting engagements, distributed via direct sales and referral-based business development. The firm is led by Managing Director & President Carlos J. Amespil, whose two decades of senior hospitality operations experience across Wolfgang Puck Catering, Compass Group, Urth Caffe, Auberge Resorts, and Piatti Restaurant Company is the primary source of credibility. The firm maintains a single domestic operating geography with no disclosed international footprint, no parent company, and no institutional investors identified in available source material.
