Stratega Global

What Stratega Global does

Stratega Global is a boutique strategic advisory firm founded in 2020 by Ian Pallister (Global Managing Partner, British, formerly senior at Cap Gemini, Innovaro, Strategos, and Palladium) and Tiago Grandi (Managing Partner, Brazil, 20+ years in strategy and innovation). The firm serves C-level executives and senior leadership of organizations across diverse sectors, helping clients transition from episodic, plan-based strategy-making to strategy as a continuous adaptive journey. Named clients are predominantly Brazilian retail majors (Azul, Magazine Luiza, Marisa, GPA, Raia Drogasil), and the firm claims to have served 80+ companies and documented 70+ cases since founding. The firm operates from offices in São Paulo, London, and Munich.

Stratega's service architecture consists of six strategic domains (Think the Future, Plan Growth, Reinvent Business, Dynamic Strategy, High Skills, and the forthcoming Living Lab) delivered through four engagement formats: Labs (2-3 weeks), Sprints (1-3 days), Journeys (3-6 months), and Evolution (1+ years). Its core intellectual property is the proprietary "1-2-3-Ready!" methodology, which synthesizes American, British, and Scandinavian schools of strategy and is recorded in two publications. The team comprises the two founding partners plus four named associate consultants with deep sector expertise in manufacturing, retail, technology, and fashion; firmographic data lists an 11-50 employee range, though only six individuals are identified by name in the source material.

Stratega generates revenue entirely through project-based professional services engagements priced by format and duration; no subscription, retainer, or product licensing model is disclosed. Go-to-market is direct and referral-driven, relying on the personal networks and reputation of the founding partners. There are no disclosed marketing channels, no public pricing, no external investment, and no parent organization. The firm is an independent private partnership with operations spanning the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

Broad incumbents

• Bain & Company: Bain & Company is a top-tier global strategy consultancy advising CEOs on growth, transformation, and operations — a broad incumbent peer with overlapping C-suite services and multi-format engagement models.

• Boston Consulting Group: BCG is a global management consultancy with deep strategy, transformation, and innovation practices. Compares to Stratega as a broad incumbent offering overlapping corporate-strategy and growth advisory at the executive level.

Regional players

• Falconi: Falconi is a Brazilian-headquartered management consulting firm specializing in strategy and management excellence, with deep Brazilian retail and industrial expertise — a strong regional peer given Stratega's São Paulo base and Brazilian client roster (Magalu, GPA, Raia Drogasil, Marisa).

Direct peers
