BIO
D. Scott Monday

I have a passion for growing businesses. I adore every part of it. Strategy, team development, recruiting, marketing, focusing maniacally on the customer experience. It’s what gets me up in the morning and keeps me contemplating late into the night.
​
I also have a burning desire to help business owners exit from their businesses. Let's face it, there are hundreds of thousands of American businesses that are strong and well-established but simply lack a succession plan. Perhaps there is no 2nd or 3rd generation willing and/or able to take over. Perhaps the management team is strong but lacks the skill and/or desire to buy out the owner. Or perhaps plans have simply changed in the tumultuous years we've all endured of late.
​
Regardless, I have a passion for helping business owners in this situation. Here's a bit of my background that makes me uniquely qualified for such pursuits.
