In the end, a vision without the ability to execute it is probably a hallucination.

Dave Reilly is a seasoned and entrepreneurial business leader with experience as a CFO, COO, founder and investor. His career has spanned multi-billion-dollar public companies to three people in a garage; financial services to hazardous waste disposal; SaaS to consumer products; and nonprofits to venture-backed startups. Along the way, he’s seen the ups as well as the downs—strategic wins, hard-earned turnarounds, mergers, acquisitions and a few spectacular failures that taught the most lasting lessons.
Across those experiences, Dave has worked with senior teams wrestling with all-too-common questions, such as: Why has our growth stalled? How do we fix the dysfunction on our leadership team? Why do we have so many meetings that accomplish nothing? We’re drowning in data – but what metrics really impact the business?
He has learned that what separates high-performing companies is not luck or brilliance—it’s structure. The most successful leaders apply a consistent, disciplined operating system that aligns people, purpose and process. That system reduces friction, accelerates execution, and transforms good companies into great ones.
As a Certified Pinnacle Business Guide, Dave helps leadership teams identify and break through the barriers—often unseen—that are holding them back. He brings real-world experience, empathy, and a practical framework to help organizations reach their next level of performance.
