Brett Striker is a Professional EOS Implementer®, entrepreneur, former founder and CEO, and Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA®).
Based in St. Paul, Minnesota, Brett works with entrepreneurial leadership teams in St. Paul, Minnesota; Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Tampa, Florida; and throughout the United States.
Before becoming an EOS Implementer, Brett built, scaled, and successfully exited a national Consumer Packaged Goods company, where he ran EOS for more than eight years as an owner, CEO, and leadership team member.
Today, Brett helps privately held, family-owned, founder-led, owner-operated, and growth-oriented companies strengthen their leadership teams, create greater accountability, and build healthier, more valuable businesses.
Brett works with leadership teams inside established, privately held companies that have reached a level of growth and complexity where the systems, communication, and leadership practices that worked in the past are no longer enough.
His clients are often:
Founder-led, family-owned, or owner-operated businesses.
Growing companies that need greater structure, clarity, and accountability.
Founders who want to build a business that can operate without depending on them for every decision.
Leadership teams implementing EOS for the first time or not getting the expected results from self-implementation.
Owners preparing for leadership succession, ownership transition, or an eventual exit.
Brett works best with leadership teams that are open, honest, growth-oriented, and willing to address the real issues standing in the way of the company’s vision.
Before becoming an EOS Implementer, Brett founded Maddy & Maize and grew it from a startup in his apartment kitchen into a nationally distributed Consumer Packaged Goods company.
The company’s products were sold through more than 10,000 retail locations, including Target, Kroger, Whole Foods, and Edible Arrangements. Brett also built its Amazon Marketplace and Shopify direct-to-consumer businesses.
Throughout that journey, Brett raised investment capital, built and led a leadership team, scaled manufacturing and operations, navigated rapid growth, and ultimately sold the business to a competitor.
Brett learned EOS from inside the business, using the system for more than eight years as an owner, CEO, and leadership team member responsible for making it work week after week.
He experienced many of the challenges entrepreneurial leaders face, including carrying too much responsibility, developing a leadership team, managing increasing complexity, and building a company that could thrive beyond its founder. That firsthand experience helps him understand both the practical demands of growth and the responsibility carried by founders, owners, CEOs, Integrators, and leadership team members.
Manufacturing, Consumer Packaged Goods, consumer products, building materials, industrial services, wholesale distribution, and logistics companies.
Commercial construction companies, general contractors, specialty contractors, HVAC contractors, and field service businesses.
Artificial intelligence companies, SaaS companies, Managed IT Service Providers, data center companies, and mission-critical infrastructure businesses.
Law firms, consulting firms, marketing agencies, commercial banks, credit unions, financial advisors, Registered Investment Advisors, and family office-owned operating businesses.
Multi-location retail companies, franchise businesses, automotive glass companies, ecommerce businesses, and other consumer-facing companies.
Healthcare companies, dental practices, medical spas, cannabis companies, and other emerging regulated businesses.
Brett is particularly well suited for privately held, family-owned, founder-led, owner-operated, and growth-oriented companies that need greater clarity, structure, leadership alignment, and execution to reach the next level.
The founder or CEO has become the bottleneck and too many decisions depend on one person.
The leadership team is not aligned on the company’s vision, priorities, direction, roles, or responsibilities.
The company has outgrown its current structure or systems, and rapid growth has created greater complexity and inconsistent execution.
Important issues are discussed repeatedly, difficult conversations are avoided, or communication has broken down.
EOS has been introduced or self-implemented, but the tools are not being used consistently and the system is not fully sticking.
The company is preparing for significant growth, leadership succession, ownership transition, or an eventual exit.
The leadership team wants an experienced EOS Implementer who understands the realities of building, scaling, and leading an entrepreneurial company.
They want a facilitator who creates an environment for honest conversation while challenging the team to address difficult issues, make decisions, and follow through on its commitments.
