About
Our consultants are united by our passion and intellectual curiosity for the Telecommunications, Media, and Technology (TMT) sectors. These sectors, representing a $5+ trillion global market, are defined by remarkable technological innovations, business model disruptions, rapidly shifting consumer demands, shrinking barriers to entry, and confusing regulatory changes – challenges that Altman Solon is prepared for and eager to address on behalf of our clients.
As trusted advisors to major industry players and leading investors, we have helped to identify, develop, and implement many of the era-defining strategies that have shaped the TMT sector over the last twenty years, including:
Assisting major operators in deploying fiber networks across North America and Europe. In fact, nearly every mile of fiber on either side of the Atlantic has Altman Solon’s imprint on it.
Guiding major mobile carriers through the next generation of innovation – from handheld design through tower strategy – including the current rollout of 5G technology.
Helping global media companies and dynamic new players adapt to the disruption of OTT/streaming video and the new strategies for creating, marketing, and delivering video content.
Advising major technology firms on strategies to enter the burgeoning cloud computing market, including that many IT customers still want a hybrid cloud integration model.
Evaluating deals and creating opportunities for most of the major private equity and TMT infrastructure investors across the globe.
Our unique depth of sector expertise enables us to help clients navigate TMT’s rapidly changing industry dynamics. We have assembled a global team of TMT experts and thought leaders who work together to create customized solutions that enable our clients to weather any economic conditions and benefit from any technological disruption.
Our consulting team members arrive at every engagement with a real understanding of how businesses in these sectors operate and can anticipate future industry disruptions, so we can quickly develop specific client strategies without weeks of ramp-up or research. Our collaborative team structure brings together industry experts and data analysts from across the company to apply their experience and skills to create real-world solutions for global TMT players. Our unique combination of understanding the critical factors in TMT and proven analytical capabilities help us produce better and faster advice for our clients.

Values
Trusted by clients
Building client trust requires that we consistently produce outstanding work, deliver on our promises, maintain confidentiality, and act with transparency. It means putting the interests of our clients ahead of those of the individual or the firm and giving true advice – not necessarily saying just what people want to hear but rather saying what is best for the client’s business.
Produce outstanding and innovative advice
Our thought leadership in Telecommunications, Media, and Technology is the main reason why we get hired. And we maintain those relationships over years or even decades by taking responsibility for our assignments, working efficiently, supporting each other, and further developing our expertise.
Develop people
Attracting great people is not enough: we must provide opportunity, resources, and mentoring to help each other reach our full potential. This also means not adhering to a rigid, traditional career advancement system but instead fostering a performance-based culture that is fair and understood by everyone. While our goal is to help all our colleagues flourish at Altman Solon, we also help them develop the skills to pursue success anywhere in the TMT fields and beyond.
Act with integrity
In business and life, we sometimes face situations in which we have to decide whether or not to take the “high road”. At Altman Solon, we always choose that path, and we believe integrity matters in all of our actions – all the time, including in how we treat our colleagues and how we serve our clients. This also means being forthright in our advice to clients in a way that informs and enlightens them.
Treat everyone with respect
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion or any other status protected by applicable law. We do not tolerate harassment in any form. We also believe that respect goes further, and that we must do more than not discriminating to ensure that colleagues across all levels and offices as well as our business associates feel valued, respected, and included. We believe in working together both on and off-projects in a respectful and constructive manner and ensuring that everyone feels they have a voice and the support of each other.
