The firm provides seasoned executives on flexible, project-based engagements to help small to mid-sized brands and venues scale with precision and innovation for an evolving and dynamic market and business lifecycle.

Curato specializes in fractional leadership across key functions and senior operations and strategy roles.

Curato’s team combines engaged finance and operational leadership and growth strategists who understand the unique rhythms, margins, and regulatory considerations for craft beverage and hospitality businesses. Our programs emphasize rapid onboarding, explicit engagement scopes, and measurable outcomes. Curato Advisory Group is committed to coaching company stakeholders on how to envision, revision, or revive their ideas. We then advise or mentor them on bringing those ideas alive – It is the art of turning passion and expectation into a greater than purpose and intention with clarity of a promise, where ROI (Return On Investment)  makes predictions while ROE (Return On Equity) indicates effectiveness and ROO (Return On Objectives) fulfils the intention.
