About Vertical Consultants

The Human Expertise & AI Advantage in Telecom Leasing

Our Origin: Closing the Information Gap

Vertical Consultants was founded by Hugh Odom to solve a critical market imbalance: property owners were negotiating against multi-billion dollar telecom carriers while armed with incomplete data.

We asked ourselves a pivotal question: “Would we work with a company that only focuses on ONE aspect of the cell tower or rooftop lease process?” Our answer was “No.” That realization brought forth Vertical Consultants.

The Vertical Consultants Difference

While other firms offered passive advice on isolated parts of a lease, we recognized that a cell tower agreement is a complex ecosystem of telecom, real estate, and financial components. We didn’t just want to advise; we wanted to execute.

We created Vertical Consultants to be the industry’s first end-to-end advocacy firm.

Holistic Approach: We handle the intersection of legal structure, rent valuation, and site utility.
Performance-Based: Our motto is simple: “We don’t benefit unless you benefit.” We align our success with your revenue.
