Oakland, Calif.-based Cliff Consulting was founded by CEO Bob Cliff 36 years ago. It is a 15-person, IT operations and strategy firm focused on financial services and healthcare delivery and was named one of Consulting
magazine's Seven Small Jewels in 2008. Robin Nasatir, who has been with the firm for 20 years, recently was appointed president and chief operating officer. She will now focus on the day-to-day operations of the firm, while Cliff will guide the firm's overall strategic direction. Nasatir took a few minutes to speak with Consulting
magazine's One-on-One about her promotion.
Consulting: Congratulations on the new role. So, what does the new position mean to you?
Nasatir: Thank you. This transition feels like a very natural progression to me. Bob (Cliff) and I have worked side by side managing the firm and preparing for this transition for the past four years. And although I'll be running day-to-day operations now (with the help of our office staff), Bob will still be active as my thought partner in making strategic decisions. My goal is to maintain the values, culture and reputation that Bob has built for Cliff Consulting over the past 35 years.
