Strategy Without Ego. Results Without Excuses.
First Management Strategies was built on a simple belief: the best consulting happens when advisors care more about outcomes than billable hours.
Founded in 2022, the firm was born from a vision to deliver senior-level strategic guidance without the bureaucracy of traditional consulting. Batraz Baimatov saw an opportunity to build something different—a practice rooted in real-world experience, direct partnership, and measurable results.
Today, First Management Strategies serves founders, executives, and leadership teams navigating critical inflection points. Whether scaling operations, entering new markets, or building the leadership bench for the next phase of growth, our clients trust us to bring clarity where there's complexity and momentum where there's stagnation.
We don't believe in strategy decks that collect dust. Every engagement is built around implementation—because insight without action is just conversation.
Meet Batraz Baimatov
Founder & Principal Consultant
Batraz Baimatov didn't start in a boardroom. He started in the trenches.
Over the past decade, Batraz has built a reputation as the person you call when the stakes are high and the path forward isn't clear. His career spans business development, operational restructuring, and executive advisory—working alongside founders scaling their first venture and seasoned CEOs navigating complex transitions.
What sets Batraz apart isn't just his analytical rigor—it's his ability to see around corners. Clients describe him as someone who asks the questions others avoid, challenges assumptions without ego, and stays in the work long after the strategy is set.
Before founding First Management Strategies, Batraz spent over a decade advising companies across industries—from early-stage startups preparing for institutional funding to established enterprises repositioning for market shifts.
Based in Los Angeles, Batraz works with clients across the country and internationally.
