Pierre Khattar, Executive Board Member and Former CEO, Indevco North America
"Hearken was engaged to assist with navigating and implementing human resources and employee retention programs during the very difficult times of the pandemic.

Jimmy Yenicag, Founder and President, James & Co. Jewelers
"James & Co. Jewelers engaged Hearken to advise on the adjudication of a complex specialty property claim that required expertise in commercial real estate leases and insurance.

Hearken was later engaged to advise on and manage a property acquisition from a public utility, which required approval by multiple jurisdictions. Blaine’s personal oversight of the process, keen business acumen, and clear grasp of the inherent transaction complexities and nuances paved the way for a successful outcome. Blaine’s unwavering dedication and repeated record of success make Hearken Advisors James & Co.’s go-to business management consultant and most trusted advisor."
