START. GROW. PIVOT. EXIT.

ADVISING BUSINESSES THROUGH EVERY STAGE.

Every phase of a business from start-up to exit brings with it a new set of challenges, successes and opportunities. The team at Brickpath Group invests in your success by walking alongside you and your company throughout that journey, serving as advisors, coaches, mentors and friends.

We believe in partnership, not transactions. Through business advisory services, leadership development, and executive recruiting, Brickpath Group acts as an extension of your internal capabilities, allowing you to achieve more than you would going it alone.

WHAT WE DO

Business Advisory Services

We work with entrepreneurs and executives to help their companies achieve success at every step along the way from start-up through growth to exit. We are no-nonsense partners helping you plan, prepare and execute on your company’s strategies.

Whether you’re preparing for a pivot, entering a new role or just want to improve your leadership skills, we’ll serve as your guide and mentor to capitalize on your strengths and overcome your limitations to become an even more effective leader.

Executive Recruiting

No organization can succeed without the right people in place. We partner with employers like you to first understand your culture, objectives and desired leadership competencies, then recruit and place executive talent that can propel a company toward long-term success.

PLAIN TALK. NO JARGON. NO BS.

We don’t think outside of any boxes around here. We don’t push envelopes, build synergies or move needles. You won’t hear any of that tired corporate-speak, or HR happy-talk at Brickpath Group. We believe in honest, direct communication, telling you what you need to hear to help you reach your goals.

LET’S TALK!

There’s just no substitute for a good old-fashioned one-on-one conversation.

SO WHAT’S WITH THE BRICKS?

When Brickpath Group’s founder Ron Bower was an undergraduate student at Ohio University, he was captivated by the small-town charm of Athens, Ohio, a rural college town in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. One of the campus’ defining features was its winding red-brick paths and roads. Years later, Ron found those memorable bricks to be an apt metaphor for his mission in creating Brickpath Group – guiding companies and individuals along a path to reaching their goals, no matter how smooth or bumpy that path may be.
