About Me

I’m Jake Petoskey - a management consultant turned private equity operating partner turned independent advisor.

Over the last 15+ years, I’ve helped startups, SMBs, and PE-backed companies grow revenue, improve margins, and scale with confidence.

From pricing strategy to Go-To-Market execution, I’ve led over 50 transformation projects resulting in $50M in EBITDA

Today, I work with investors and founders who want pragmatic, hands-on support — not just a slide deck.
