About Us

---

Octavano was founded by John Bruno, Jr after 35 years working in both corporate and outsourced consulting firms.  He worked and consulted for companies from small business to the largest multinational organizations in the world. 

John spent the last 12 years growing the family business as their President and CEO readying the company for acquisition.  In 2020, the Bruno family decided to sell after 53 years and 3 generations.  Many of the family retired, but John Jr. still had more to give.  He spent the last year working for the new owner, but he decided to alter direction.  Enter Octavano.  

Now, we share our passion by helping others. Octavano is a full service Business Lifecycle Management consultancy. We help organizations in startup, ongoing operations, and sunsetting.  We can help with all aspects of your business including business valuations, succession planning and offloading.

We have practical experience in Sales, Marketing, Finance, Mergers & Acquisitions, Team Building, Leadership, and General Management.  We have provided service in various industries such as Manufacturing, Financial Services, Insurance, Information Technology, Software Development, and Human Capital Management with a concentration in payroll, time and labor, human resources, and employee benefits. 

Business mentors are key and you can't fast track experience.  We learn from years on the job, our successes as well as our failures, and we're here to share that experience with you.  When it comes to client selection, we’re choosy.  We want to give each of you the time and guidance you deserve.  We're here to help you achieve success and see your business thrive.

Our project based service includes a comprehensive consultation to help identify gaps and opportunities, a comprehensive report that includes a project plan with  timelines and milestones, a cost analysis, and a schedule.  That’s how we ensure your success.
