How Landa Club Helped Teresa de la Garza Launch Her Advisory Firm and Build a More Intentional Life
Background
Teresa de la Garza is the founder of TGM Global Advisory, a firm dedicated to helping companies strengthen their external risk management capabilities. Based in Austin, Teresa works with clients across diverse geographies, bringing her extensive experience from corporate leadership into her new entrepreneurial venture. Her journey to founding TGM Global Advisory was driven by a desire to build a more intentional life, allowing her to stay closer to her family and manage a more flexible schedule.
"I joined Landa Club out of curiosity, but also because I believed it would be a great space to share the real, practical challenges of building something new—and to realize you’re not alone in the process."
The Challenge
Before joining Landa Club, Teresa was in a corporate leadership role and was contemplating a significant career transition. She recognized the need for a structured and supportive environment to validate her ideas and navigate the complexities of launching her own advisory firm. The challenge was not just about the business aspects, but also about ensuring this new chapter aligned with her personal goals of a more intentional and flexible lifestyle.
Teresa found her solution in Landa Club. She joined out of curiosity, but quickly discovered it provided the ideal space to share the practical challenges of building a new venture. The bootcamp offered a structured and genuinely supportive environment, acting as an "acid test" for her next professional chapter. Landa Club provided the framework and community she needed to confidently transition from her corporate role to launching TGM Global Advisory.
Outcome and Impact
Through her experience with Landa Club, Teresa successfully launched TGM Global Advisory, focusing on external risk management. Beyond the professional achievement, Landa Club empowered her to build a more intentional life, allowing for greater flexibility and more time with her family. The program not only helped her validate her business idea but also provided the support system to realize her personal aspirations.
"I’m grateful for the Landa Club experience and would absolutely recommend it to anyone seriously exploring their next professional chapter."
