Our Business Story – The Journey of eastwood&co
eastwood&co was born out of Russell Eastwood’s unwavering dedication to helping business owners and leaders unlock their full potential. What began as a business coaching and mentoring service, primarily operating through The Alternative Board, has since expanded to encompass an extensive range of offerings designed to support the growth and development of businesses across various industries.
As Russell’s reputation for delivering results grew, so did his network of industry experts. These partnerships in marketing, legal, HR, accounting, and other fields have allowed eastwood&co to provide a comprehensive suite of services tailored to clients’ needs. Today, eastwood&co is not just about Russell, it’s about a growing team that offers business coaching services, professional skill training, and access to a vast network of industry professionals.
