§ 01 — Practices

Six disciplines. One discreet contract.

Each Altus mandate is built around a single relationship officer and a private team drawn from our six practices. Engagements are bespoke; never templated.

01 / 06

Strategic Sourcing

Multi-jurisdictional supplier identification, qualification and arbitrage for high-value categories where market price is opaque.

→
02 / 06

Critical Medicines

Allocation-grade access to oncology, biologics, vaccines and orphan therapies under cold-chain custody and GDP compliance.

→
03 / 06

Energy & Industrial

Turbines, transformers, pipelines, refinery long-leads. We have closed nine-figure tickets in 14 weeks where OEM quotes ran 70+.

→
04 / 06

Capital Projects

End-to-end procurement office services for hospitals, airports, ministries and grid projects. We embed; we deliver; we exit.

→
05 / 06

Defense & Dual-Use

Vetted procurement under end-user-certificate frameworks. ITAR, EAR, EU dual-use and Wassenaar competent across the practice.

→
06 / 06

Discreet Advisory

Quiet sourcing for foundations, private offices and heads of state. We act under counsel; we leave no marketing footprint.

→
§ 02 — Method

The Altus mandate, in seven movements.

We do not respond to RFPs. We accept mandates. Each mandate moves through a precise sequence — engineered to compress timelines without compromising audit defensibility.

Dr. Ines Marchetti
We retained Altus for the most politically exposed procurement of the decade. They closed it in 38 days, on budget, without a single press call. That is the house, in one sentence.
