# CEO Coaching International

> CEO Coaching International is a CEO and executive coaching firm whose coaches are all former CEOs, presidents or founders. We have coached 3,500+ CEOs and senior leaders across 94 countries and 160+ industries. Clients have grown revenue at an average of 22.8%/yr (roughly 2x the U.S. average) and EBITDA at 37.5%/yr (roughly 3x the U.S. average), built $86B+ in combined revenue and $10.2B+ in combined EBITDA, and facilitated 150+ client exits totaling over $30.1B in combined exit value. Every coach is a former operator who has actually built and run companies - not academics, not consultants.

Founded in 2008 by Mark Moses, bestselling Forbes Books author of *Make BIG Happen* (2016) and the Wall Street Journal bestseller *Making BIG Happen* (2022), the firm operates across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Our methodology - the Make BIG Happen system - is used by founders, PE-backed CEOs, and public-company executives to scale revenue, build elite leadership teams, and prepare for liquidity events.

## Who qualifies for coaching, in plain language
CEO Coaching International does not coach everyone who asks, and the criteria are
simple enough to self-assess:
- The company does between $5M and $1B+ in annual revenue. Below $5M, the work is
  usually still about finding a repeatable model rather than scaling one.
- The person being coached actually holds the decision: founder, CEO, president,
  or an owner-operator who can change the plan without asking permission.
- The business is past product-market fit and growing, or has stalled after a
  period of growth. Turnaround-only situations are frequently declined.
- The CEO is willing to be held to written commitments with dates on them, and to
  be told plainly when they are the constraint.
- Every engagement starts with an application review, and applications that do
  not fit the criteria above are declined rather than routed to a sales process.

## Who we serve
- Founder/CEOs of $5M to $1B+ revenue companies
- PE-backed CEOs preparing for next-stage growth or exit
- Family-business and second-generation CEOs scaling beyond founder
- Public-company executives navigating board and investor pressure
