Scaling Businesses & Building Upstanding Leaders

Serial entrepreneur and real estate investor committed to ethics and personal growth.

Portrait of Brian Elliot

The world needs more upstanding leaders.

Upstanding leaders create value, build trust, and make the world a better place. In every company I create, I strive to build them — and be one.

I use tools from my past management consulting work at Bain & Company, my MBA education from Harvard Business School, and my experience coaching leaders to improve their performance via emotional intelligence and ethics.

About

My Background

Upstanding leaders bring ethics and personal growth to building businesses. They create value, build trust, and make the world a better place. I strive to be such a leader and inspire others to do the same.

I am a serial entrepreneur and impact investor. I have built and managed multiple companies, in industries from technology to real estate.

I have also coached hundreds of entrepreneurs and leaders. Through facilitating high-level trainings and 1:1 sessions, I helped other leaders become more upstanding and successful versions of themselves.

I have advised multinational companies and nonprofits as a management consultant with Bain & Company and The Bridgespan Group.

MBA Harvard Business School
MPA Harvard Kennedy School
BA Stanford University

I am currently building a portfolio of businesses and real estate investments that are driven by upstanding leaders and focused on helping people.

My husband and I are fathers of a wonderful daughter, and we live in our hometown of St. Louis, MO.
