About Teleioo Group
Teleioo Group — pronounced Tell-ee-oh — is a Texas Veteran-Owned strategic advisory firm founded by Santiago Mendoza, Jr. We help healthcare organizations, investors, developers, and growth-focused businesses connect the right relationships, create the right opportunities, and deliver measurable results.
Our Story
A Firm Built at the Executive Table.
Teleioo Group (Tell-ee-oh) is a Houston, Texas strategic advisory firm founded by Santiago Mendoza, Jr. after more than 25 years in healthcare executive leadership, medical real estate, and capital development — a career spanning hospital administration, physician relations, strategic planning, business development, marketing, and organizational growth.
Along the way, Santiago helped oversee more than $2 billion in new healthcare and commercial projects, raised more than $41 million across healthcare ventures, and helped lead a newly opened hospital to more than $900 million in gross charges within its first 24 months. Those experiences shaped a simple conviction about how organizations actually grow.
I have accumulated something more valuable than any individual business idea: a broad executive operating system. Industries change; but people, incentives, systems, and organizational problems repeat.
That operating system is what Teleioo Group brings to every engagement. Today the firm advises physicians, medical groups, hospitals, ambulatory organizations, investors, developers, and businesses across Texas and beyond — connecting relationships, creating opportunities, and delivering results.
Mission & Vision
What We Are Here to Do
Our Vision
To help leaders and organizations see opportunities differently and pursue them with greater confidence — serving as a strategic extension of the leadership team wherever strategy, capital, and relationships intersect.
Core Values
Service. Discipline. Leadership. Commitment.
The values instilled through U.S. Army service are the values that guide this firm — and the relationships that hold it together.
Discipline
Clarity of objective, honest assessment of resources, and steady follow-through. Strategy is only useful when it is carried through to the result.
Accountability
We measure success by the value created — not by the strategy presented. Ownership of the outcome is part of the engagement.
Integrity
Business is built on relationships, and relationships are built on trust. We offer the counsel the situation requires, aligned with your best interests.
Service
A veteran’s instinct: the mission comes before the individual. We serve our clients, our colleagues, and the Houston community with the same commitment.
Leadership
Our founder has sat at the executive table with physicians, investors, developers, hospital leadership, and civic leaders. We lead alongside your team, not from the sidelines.
Relationships First
The right relationships, combined with the right strategy, can transform an opportunity into measurable results. Every engagement begins there.
Leadership Philosophy
Relationships Come First.
Business is built on relationships, and relationships are built on trust. I listen first, work to understand the objectives and challenges in front of an organization, and then develop strategies that create value.
What an advisor should do
We believe an advisor earns a seat at the table by doing more than advising. Our role is to:
- Open doors
- Make introductions
- Challenge assumptions
- Identify overlooked opportunities
- Help turn strategy into action

Our Approach
How an Engagement Runs
Every engagement follows the same disciplined arc — listening first, then building strategies that create value and carrying them through to measurable results.
Listen First
We begin by listening — to leadership, to the market, and to the people closest to the opportunity. No recommendations until we understand what you are actually trying to accomplish.
Understand the Objectives and Challenges
We work to understand your objectives, constraints, and the challenges in front of the organization — and the relationships, capital, and market factors that shape what is possible.
Develop the Strategy
We help you see the bigger picture, challenge assumptions, and identify overlooked opportunities — then develop practical strategies that create value and can be implemented.
Turn Strategy Into Action
We open doors, make introductions, and connect the right people, organizations, and resources — staying engaged as a strategic extension of your leadership team while the plan moves forward.
Measure the Value Created
We measure success by the value created — growth, capital, partnerships, and results that hold up — not by the strategy presented.
Community Involvement
Invested in Houston. Engaged Beyond the Boardroom.
Relationships are built over years of showing up. Our founder has served on boards, advisory committees, and civic organizations across the Greater Houston and Bay Area communities — work that shapes both the firm’s relationships and its sense of responsibility to the region it serves.
