I've built and sold five companies. Our most recent success grew to $300M and 40%+ a year through strong GTM, Data and AI, and eight acquisitions, then sold to a global systems integrator at a 15x revenue multiple. The founders below brought me in when the climb got hard, and these are the numbers we moved together.
As founder and P&L owner, I built the world's largest Azure pure-play data and AI platform business and sold it to a global systems integrator at a 15x revenue multiple.
Tecknoworks has elite engineers and a founder with a clear vision. The gap was the system to grow: pipeline, partnerships, and delivery built to scale.
Tecknoworks shipped strong work and kept clients loyal. Growth still stalled, because three pieces were missing. Sales ran through referrals and the founder, so pipeline never compounded. The partner ecosystem sat idle, so co-sell and alliance deals never showed up. And delivery, sharp as it was, hadn't matured into a model that protects margin as the firm scales.
We built these in parallel in our first phase together. A pipeline engine and a sales motion the team runs without the founder. A partner and alliance play that turns the ecosystem into deal flow. A delivery model matured to hold margin as volume climbs. Underneath all of it sat the piece they'd been missing: a real playbook, documented and owned by the team, so the growth keeps going after I leave.
Now the team builds its own pipeline, the partner channel produces deals, and delivery scales without giving back margin. Win rate more than doubled. They charge what the work is worth.
I learned more from working with Adam in 30 days than all the other coaches I've worked with combined. Having someone who has done our exact journey successfully so many times is invaluable. The change we've seen in our business is incredible.
These founders came in stuck in different places: pipeline, delivery, leadership, a deal that had to close. Here's what they say about the work we did together.
Adam and the Everest Team brought new levels of leadership and strategy to growing our AI business. The results have profoundly accelerated our growth and capability.
Adam came alongside me as a peer and a partner, coaching me through the process and guiding me past the points of doubt and indecision as we went through a complicated transaction. I won't do this again without him.
Adam brings the experienced CEO perspective. He is looking ahead and seeing what we need to see coming. Having him on the team is invaluable.
Adam didn't just give us a playbook, he coached us through it. Role-plays and practice until we were ready. Twelve months later we have new products in the market, amazing new partnerships, and our product engineering function is transformed. Our future is exciting and bright!
My span of control as a leader grew exponentially through our acquisitions. Adam showed me how to lead at a new altitude and speed while maintaining a high level of execution and quality. I'm more confident in my decisions than I've ever been.
Adam helped us see opportunities we were missing and scale the right way. He pushed us to restructure our core offers and focus on what actually moves the business. We're delivering faster and growing.
A handful of firms at a time is the only way I stay in the room each week, on the deals and the hard calls. It also means the founders I work with join something bigger than one engagement.
I take on only a few firms at once, so I stay on your real work week after week. You get an operator who knows your business cold and shows up for the calls that matter, the deal you're about to lose, the hire who stopped scaling, the board meeting you're dreading.
Every founder I work with plugs into the network I've built over the years: the founders I've coached up the same mountain, the operators I've run alongside, and the AI experts I bring into the work. They take each other's calls. The introduction you need, or the person who solved last quarter what you're facing now, is usually one message away.
Thirty minutes, no pitch. You'll leave with your firm's altitude, the first move I'd make, and an honest read on whether I can do for you what I did for them.
