Tallahassee, Florida – September, 2023

Clutch your coffee and head up the stairs from La Florida Coffee & Wine — Yes, all the way up. Then, look into the glass enveloping the meeting room to the left. Inside, you’ll see three interns, two businessmen, and one idea linking them all.

Critical Business Group has hit the ground running in 2024, with new goals to achieve, new people to get acquainted with, and new business opportunities to pursue. Based in the heart of Tallahassee, Critical is a consulting company and tech firm with an emphasis on the local business community.

Aside from helping a myriad of Small and Medium enterprises in the Florida Panhandle through its consulting arm, one of Critical’s other biggest successes has been to provide many cycles of FSU students with their first real foray into the business world through a competitive and immersive internship program. Every spring, summer, and fall, CEO Rich Smith searches for a select few students to join his team. This time around, three were ultimately selected to both work for and represent the firm.

They’ve been working hard.

Taking point on content creation and market research, Maximo Fernandez has been able to synthesize his passion for writing with a desire to learn about the business world. “I’ve never done any sort of business or marketing; never had an idea of what consulting even was when I first started. CBG has given me an opportunity to learn these important skills and make a positive impact on my community while utilizing my strengths in the humanities!”

Andres L Fernandez (no relation) has brought his A-game and jumped swiftly into Critical’s consulting operations. “I have always been so excited to get my foot in the door of the business consulting world and do some hands-on work! Critical is allowing me to accomplish this through their internship program, and I cannot wait to see how much I grow as a person and businessman because of it.”

Enamored with the fluid work environment, Giuliana Sarcone is leading the expansion of the OneLink for Everything! Ambassador program, in addition to being involved with the Interview Series and Impact Week preparations. “I enjoy how this internship provides us with the opportunity to focus on where each of our strengths lie in order to better serve the wider community that Critical Business Group works with. As a creative person, I’ve already felt so fulfilled by this experience and am excited for what’s ahead!”

Finally, at the helm of the intern team is Noah Kalter, a former intern himself turned employee. He is energized and ready to work with the new interns on Critical’s important projects. “It’s always a pleasure to work alongside new and creative minds! Just as I took my first steps into the real world of business through this program, so too will our interns be able to jumpstart their professional careers through Critical.”

Critical Business Group is always looking toward the future!
