About
Mahdlo
Executive advisors, not just advisors.
We are not a consulting firm that hands you a deck and leaves. We are executives who step into the seat, build the strategy, and stay through execution.
Our Story
Mahdlo was founded in 2017 by Craig A. Oldham — a self-described recovering CMO — out of a problem he had lived on both sides of the table.
As job tenures for marketing leaders shrink, most get confined to short-term tactics instead of the transformative growth they were hired to drive. The mandate says growth; the calendar says campaigns.
Mahdlo exists to close that gap — by integrating sales and marketing into one function instead of two departments pulling in different directions, and by putting executives who have actually done the job into the seat, not consultants advising from the sidelines.
To redefine growth for mid-market and private equity-backed companies by uniting sales and marketing into seamless, scalable frameworks.
A future where mid-size businesses achieve sustainable growth, inspire innovation, and claim their place as leaders in their industries.
Our Values
Four commitments that decide how every engagement runs.
The Team
Every Mahdlo engagement is led by an executive who has carried the exact function they are now leading for you.
Our advisors have sat in CMO and CRO seats at mid-market and PE-backed companies across the United States and Canada, with partners in the UK and EU supporting clients with international operations or expansion plans.
