#Author #BuiltToFinish #StevenPivnik
Hi, and welcome to the show!
On today’s show I have the pleasure of welcoming speaker, author and entrepreneur Steven Pivnik to talk about his book Built To Finish and how to go the distance in business and life to achieve your personal and professional goals.
Steven is a serial entrepreneur specializing in the information technology market. He grew his last company, Binary Tree, to over 200 employees across twelve countries before realizing a successful exit with a sale to Quest Software. Steven now advises other founders and entrepreneurs looking for a similar corporate growth and company sale journey.
While Steven was CEO of Binary Tree, the company was named to the Inc. 500 and Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies multiple times, including a stretch for seven years in a row. Steven was known not only for negotiating and closing multimillion dollar licensing deals with the likes of IBM and Microsoft, but also for creating a corporate culture with significantly below average employee turnover and above average satisfaction ratings and an executive leadership team that sparked creativity and drove a passion for winning and success across the entire organization.
Steven is also an endurance sport enthusiast and enjoys triathlons of all distances as well as ultramarathons and mountaineering. He has competed in over twenty triathlons including the IRONMAN® World Championship in Kona Hawaii, eight New York City Marathons, Ultraman Florida, and numerous ultramarathons including distances of 50k, 50 miles, 100k, and 100 miles.
Steven enjoys public speaking about his business and sporting adventures with the hopes of motivating others to follow in his footsteps. When not traveling for work or pleasure Steven and his wife split their time between their homes in Manhattan and New Jersey.
In Built to Finish, Steven takes you on two journeys: leading his software and services company, Binary Tree, from inception to successful exit and his quest to compete in the IRONMAN® World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Steven shares how the insights gained from his adventures in triathlon, mountaineering, and ultramarathons apply to anyone’s pursuit of long-term personal and professional success.
