I've Signed Both Sides Of The Paycheck For 30 Years.
Built companies. Scaled companies. Sold companies. Watched good CEOs break bad and great businesses die young because they couldn't evolve past the habits that got them started.
Now, I fix that problem. But first, let me prove I've earned the right to help you.
The Journey
From Zero To $14M To 8x Exit
I didn't inherit a business or raise venture capital. My co-founders and I bootstrapped from nothing. Ten years later, we sold for more than 8x EBITDA.
In between? We built a marketing firm serving Fortune 500 tech giants. Scaled operations across the U.S. and Canada. Hit the Inc 5000 list three years running. And learned every painful lesson about what breaks at each growth stage.
The difference between seven and eight figures isn't working harder. It's dismantling everything that got you to seven and rebuilding for scale. Most founders can't do it alone. I couldn't.
That's why I do what I do now.
The Journey
Three Decades. Three Perspectives. One Integrated Approach.
As CEO
Built and exited. Managed P&Ls from six to eight figures. Made every mistake so you don't have to.
As CIO & Technology Executive
Architected systems that scale. Turned data into decisions. Fixed the operational chaos that kills growth.
As Board Leader
Led a public school board. I know what governance looks like from the other side and what boards really think about the CEOs they oversee.
This Isn't Theoretical. When I Tell You What Works, It's Because I've Done It, Measured It, And Codified It.
Your Business Can't Grow Faster Than You Do
Most coaches treat symptoms. I fix root causes. When seven-figure CEOs hit the wall, it's rarely about strategy.
The problem is you:
Your capacity
Your systems
Your inability to get out of your own way.
That's why I developed the Pique Performance Grid.
Pique Performance Grid
Five Pillars That Separate Businesses That Stall From Scale
The Operating System..
These five fundamentals determine whether a business scales—or stays stuck. Get them right, and everything else gets easier.
05
PRODUCTS & SERVICES
Simplify your offering. Multiply your margin. Build something customers buy, not something you have to sell.
04
FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE
Stop managing by gut feel. Eight-figure leaders manage by metrics, economics, maths that predict the future.
03
SYSTEMS & PROCESSES
Every fire you fight is a system you haven't built. Fireproof your operation.
02
TEAMS & STRUCTURE
Stop hiring helpers. Start building leaders. Turn chaos into clockwork.
01
VISION, STRATEGY & CULTURE
The invisible infrastructure. Without crystal-clear vision and a culture that executes, you're just hoping things work out.
Growth Focus
Where to Focus at Each Stage of Growth
Reset → Stabilize | Rebuild → Create structure | Reshape → Optimize | Run & Reinforce → Scale to eight figures. Most seven-figure CEOs are spread across all stages. The Grid shows you exactly where to focus.
This Isn't Just About Business
I've been the CEO whose spouse wondered if he was still alive. The leader whose kids asked why daddy lived at the office. The "success story" who needed melatonin to sleep and caffeine to wake up.
Building my business wreaked havoc on my personal life. Then I learned the truth: Eight-figure operations require less of you, not more. But first, you have to completely rewire how you lead.
Today, I work with twelve CEOs per year. Maximum. Because real transformation requires real attention.
Which brings me to an important question
Is Pique Right for You?
I Work With Leaders Who Check Three Boxes
YOU'VE ALREADY PROVEN YOU CAN BUILD SOMETHING
Seven figures or damn close. You're not looking for startup advice; you need scale strategy.
YOU'RE DONE BEING THE BOTTLENECK
The hero complex that built your business is now killing it. You're ready to lead, not just labor.
YOU WANT A BUSINESS WORTH SELLING (EVEN IF YOU NEVER WILL)
Because businesses built to sell are businesses built to scale. And scale is freedom.
The Next Step
One Conversation Changes Everything
Type A
Thinks they need to work harder or hire better. They'll still be at seven figures in five years, wondering why nothing changed.
Type B
Knows the problem is structural, not motivational. Ready to rebuild their leadership operating system & scale to eight figures or a premium exit.
If You're Type B, We Should Talk
One conversation will give you immediate clarity on your biggest constraint. We'll plot it on the Performance Grid together and build a custom roadmap to remove it.
I don't convince people to work with me. The right leaders know within ten minutes.
Your Competitors Don't Hesitate. Why Should You?
