ABOUT US

A boutique advisory with corporate-level expertise

Ersteberg was founded and is led by Dr Mihails, a senior executive with over 20 years of international experience in finance, strategy, and operations. Together with our partners — each of whom has served at C-level across multiple industries — we have built a proven track record of consistently delivering results for investors, corporates, and global brands.

We lead by taking projects from idea to execution with discipline and clarity. This means validating the business case, building a defensible financial model, and shaping the go-to-market strategy. We then step in at an operational level — assembling and onboarding teams, structuring contracts, and guiding governance — to ensure that strategic decisions translate into measurable outcomes. At Ersteberg, we don’t just advise; we stand by decisions and lead their realisation.
