Brian has been involved in starting and exiting half a dozen companies throughout his career, including a broadband technology startup that was sold to a large Canadian based Telecom company in 2001 for just under $1Billion. His latest ventures include Transformational Growth Partners, a consultancy that he founded in 2014 (www.yourtgp.com), and a Singapore based SaaS company StrategyX which he cofounded in 2022 (www.strategyexe.com). He is a Certified Value Builder, Certified StrategyX Partner, Five Behaviors Authorized Partner and an award winning sales training coach. His mission is to help business owners develop an end-game plan, optimize their planning and execution functions and build cohesive teams to unlock the untapped potential within their business and significantly improve its enterprise value. His goal is to provide small to mid-sized business owners with more attractive options well ahead of their plans to exit so that they can enjoy their next phase of life. In his free time, Brian humbly serves as a leader in Battle Cry International, (www.battlecryinternational.org) a faith based Non-Profit organization focused on developing strong leaders in all areas of life, starting at home and in their community. He and his wife Tawnya recently celebrated their 42nd Wedding Anniversary and enjoy spending precious time with their (4) children and (2) grandchildren while living on the Gulf Coast in Biloxi, Mississippi with their dogs Bear and Gunner.

Ron Partridge has extensive global Product Management and P&L experience, having led P&Ls worldwide from $60M to over $1B. Over 32 years, the first half of his career focused on organic growth in product management, sales, and marketing, developing several lines of products, and turning around and starting international businesses, all resulting in over $750M in new organic revenue. The second half of his career has been focused on growth through M&A, on both the buy and sell sides, including aggressive international expansion through acquisitions. Ron is married to Gladys, and they have 5 kids, and 6 awesome grandkids; their 11-year-old Daughter, Eliana, is still at home preparing for her teenage years. Did you know this about me….. The success I’ve had throughout my career is 100% attributed to the teams I had the privilege to work with. I’ve been blessed to have mentors and leaders who have helped guide, develop, and shape me into a successful business leader, and I couldn’t have done it without them. The teams I’ve been privileged to lead and those I’ve had the fortune to work with are the absolute difference between success and failure. The people are why I do this, and lifelong relationships are the treasures of this life. I’ve made both strategic and team leadership mistakes that were critical in shaping my knowledge and experience, and I learned firsthand how important a good Strategy, executed by a team with a high level of trust, makes all the difference in the world. One cannot exist without the other. That is why I’m so passionate about the Optimum Performance Platform. My partners, Brian Marshall, John Gezik and I developed this platform from our collective experiences. We incorporated the learnings from our past mistakes to help business leaders benefit from those learnings and get to a positive outcome faster.

John has been a serial entrepreneur ever since he left corporate America in 2001. He started and operated several successful businesses along the way, ranging from technology services to health and wellness to environmental remediation and indoor air quality. His passion, however, lies in working with people and organizations to help conquer obstacles that get in the way of their true success. From developing solid and trusted C-suite teams to business development and sales training for Fractional executives, John has been a leader in guiding people and organizations to reach their next level. John is also deeply involved in Battle Cry International, implementing coaching and personal transformation strategies for men, leading weekend experiences and “deep dive” personal growth off-sites for individuals, groups and non-profits. John and his wife Dana have been married for 30 years and currently live in the Chicagoland area. They have recently become “empty nesters” as their two sons, Matt and Mark, are making their own impact on the world. They both love beach vacations and are looking forward to relocating to Florida! Did you know this about John Gezik….. When I started my first business in 2001, I quickly realized that I had to go get business. I quickly realized how difficult and challenging business development was, and how important it was to master. After years of doing it wrong and getting frustrated with all of the wasted time and lack-luster results, we developed a system that evolved into The Referral Machine. The Referral Machine incorporates a new “no wasted effort” approach to networking and business development. Its principals and thought processes make business development, introductions, and networking fresh, exciting, efficient and fruitful. It can be tailored to any industry and profession, and we even have a targeted process specifically for Fractional Executives! If you are not getting the results you desire from investing endless hours on LinkedIn in effort to get new business, the solution is not to do more of that! You are already good at doing the work, let us guide you through a system that can get you the work. Ask about The Referral Machine during our conversation.
