Pinnacle Executive Advisory Firm
Where Vision Meets Execution
Two founders. Two decorated veterans. Over two decades of combined executive experience across construction, automotive, hospitality, and beyond — built to help your business reach its peak.
Built by operators, for business owners who demand results
“We don't consult from a distance. We've sat in the seat you're sitting in — and we stay in the room until the results are real.”
Pinnacle Executive Advisory was co-founded by two veterans and career operators who have spent over a decade each building, running, and advising businesses across some of the most demanding industries in the world. We bring cross-sector intelligence, military discipline, and hands-on executive experience to every engagement — giving our clients the kind of strategic partnership that actually moves the needle.
Advisory services built around your business
We work with you across every dimension of your business — from strategy to operations to people — with a hands-on approach that produces measurable, lasting results.
Strategic Growth Planning
Revenue growth strategy, market expansion, business model refinement, and long-range planning that turns ambitious goals into a clear, executable roadmap. We don't hand you a vision document — we help you build the engine to get there.
Operational Excellence
Process improvement, organizational design, KPI frameworks, and performance systems that eliminate bottlenecks and drive efficiency across every function. We find where time and money are leaking — and we stop it.
CEO & Leadership Coaching
One-on-one executive coaching for CEOs, founders, and senior leaders — sharpening decision-making, communication, and the leadership presence required to run a high-performing organization at the top level.
Business Development
Sales strategy, client acquisition frameworks, pipeline development, and market positioning that builds sustainable, repeatable revenue growth across your channels. We help you win more of the right business.
Organizational Turnaround
Rapid assessment, stabilization, and restructuring for organizations facing performance gaps, leadership voids, or operational challenges requiring decisive, immediate action. We've been in the fire — we know how to lead people out of it.
Investor & Stakeholder Relations
Executive communications, investor presentations, board readiness, and stakeholder alignment strategies that build confidence and drive your most critical decisions forward with clarity and credibility.
No sector is too complex. No challenge too unfamiliar.
With deep roots in construction, automotive, hospitality, and consulting — and proven experience across many more — Pinnacle brings a cross-sector perspective that unlocks solutions others simply don't see. The best idea for your business might come from a completely different industry. That's the Pinnacle advantage.
What sets us apart from every other firm
We've built what we advise
Both founders have built and scaled real businesses from the ground up. We know what it takes because we've done it — across construction, automotive, restaurants, hospitality, and beyond. When we sit across from you, we're not consultants reading from a playbook. We're operators who have lived it.
10+ years consulting, not theorizing
Over a decade of hands-on advisory work means we've seen what works, what fails, and what separates businesses that scale from ones that stall — across every sector we serve. Our experience isn't academic. It's earned.
Military-forged execution
Both principals are U.S. military veterans. The discipline, accountability, composure under pressure, and mission-first leadership instilled through military service defines how Pinnacle shows up for every client, on every engagement, every single day.
Accountability, not just advice
We don't hand you a report and disappear. We stay engaged, track results, and hold your leadership team — and ourselves — accountable to the outcomes we committed to. Our reputation is built on results, not recommendations.
How an engagement works
Discovery Call
A no-obligation conversation to understand your business, your challenges, and where you want to go. No pitch. No pressure. Just an honest, direct assessment of whether Pinnacle is the right fit.
Organizational Assessment
A comprehensive deep-dive into your operations, financials, leadership team, market position, and strategic opportunities. We identify quick wins you can act on immediately and long-term leverage points.
Strategic Roadmap Delivery
A clear, prioritized action plan with defined milestones, KPIs, and ownership assignments — translating our findings into an executable roadmap your team can move on from day one.
Hands-On Implementation
We work alongside your leadership team to execute — coaching through challenges, solving problems in real time, and removing barriers. We stay in the room until the results are real and measurable.
Ongoing Advisory Partnership
Many clients continue with a retained advisory relationship — direct, ongoing access to Pinnacle expertise as new challenges emerge. Your executive team's most experienced resource, always within reach.
The people behind Pinnacle
Two co-founders. Two veterans. One shared commitment to helping businesses reach their peak.
Jeremy Gilchrist
Co-Founder & Principal Advisor
Jeremy brings 16+ years of executive leadership across commercial construction, hospitality, and technology. As Founder and President of Quest Construction LLC, he scaled the business from inception to $20M–$70M in annual revenue built entirely on relationship-driven, negotiated work and repeat client relationships.
He has personally delivered $76M+ in high-profile projects including a full gut renovation of a 345-room Holiday Inn, an interior renovation of the New Orleans Superdome, multiple ground-up country club builds, and large-scale commercial development. His military service as a Fleet Marine Force Combat Medic instilled the discipline, accountability, and leadership under pressure that define his advisory approach.
Jordan Ruiz
Co-Founder & Principal Advisor
Jordan brings 10+ years of executive consulting experience across construction, automotive, restaurants, and hospitality — with a deep background in building and scaling commercial operations from the ground up.
