The ReWild Group Story

The ReWild Group’s foundations rest on 30 years of research and observation into small and midsize businesses. Our mission was to uncover what drives companies to grow, shrink, succeed, or fail. This pursuit led us to engage with over 1,500 businesses across dozens of industries.

Through this work, we identified clear, predictable patterns that directly influence a company’s ability to sustain growth. These insights inspired the development of The Seven Stages of Growth—a methodology recognizing that every company progresses through seven distinct stages, defined by organizational complexity.

In 2017, The ReWild Group launched a significant update to this proven framework. Our aim was to create a more robust tool—one that not only diagnoses and predicts gaps in a business’s ecosystem but also prescribes actionable solutions to address them.

Organizational ReWilding® was launched in 2018. This enhanced methodology builds on the "Classic" Seven Stages of Growth, refining the original framework and introducing targeted solutions.

Business leaders can now work with our Network of Advisers who use Organizational ReWilding® to identify the missing elements in a business – like the grey wolves in Yellowstone – and help infuse these elements to grow a more exceptional business.

Our Mission

The ReWild Group is on a mission to multiply the number of exceptional businesses globally.

We believe that work is a fundamental part of human existence, and that much of who we are is impacted by the work we do. When a person is part of an exceptional workplace, they can apply their natural talents, grow as an individual, and develop new skills. This person returns to home and society as the best version of themselves. 

As we multiply the number of exceptional businesses, the impact reverberates throughout our homes, our communities, and our nations. 

We invite you to join us in our mission of growing more exceptional businesses.

Our Founder

I became the owner of a small business after several years in a successful data analytics career. The calling to create something of my own had grown stronger and stronger— an entrepreneurial bent that I owe to my dad, who was also a small business owner (for more on that story, click here).

That’s why it was so difficult for me to receive a valuation of my company and realize that, after 12 years of enormous sacrifice and hard work, my company was worth far less than I expected. I wanted a successful exit from my business and was willing to do everything within my power to leverage what I had built and make it attractive for someone to buy one day.

I started looking around for solutions, and that’s when I came across the Stages of Growth methodology. I took those principles and concepts and applied them to my business. The results were extraordinary. In just three years, the value of the company increased 10x. I sold my business at a price that truly reflected my investment.

I could have retired at that point. But after experiencing the power of the Stages of Growth methodology, I wanted to bring it to the market so that others could benefit too. That’s how the ReWild Group was born.

Ongoing Work & Books

I’ve spent almost a decade learning, developing, and applying the Organizational ReWilding Stages of Growth methodology. The depth and effectiveness of the framework continue to amaze me. I enjoy sharing this information with business leaders (owners, CEOs, presidents) and business advisers (coaches, consultants, confidantes). As a lifelong learner, I’m also deeply interested in hearing what’s working (or not working) for other business-minded people.

I’ve authored a series of books called the Organizational ReWilding Rules for Business Growth. Each book looks at one of the seven stages in detail, explaining the governing principles that best serve a business of that size and using illustrations to show how the concepts play out in real life.

I recently finished a new series called The Element Guidebook Series. These books are applicable to businesses of all sizes and go deeper into the 11 elements that make an exceptional business. As with the prior series, illustrations are used to make the concepts come to life.
