A Scaling Up Case Study
Ambrose Employer Group, a professional employer organization (PEO) co-founded by Greg Slamowitz and John Iorillo, faced scaling challenges as it grew. The founder-led company struggled with shifting priorities, inefficient meetings, and operational bottlenecks that hindered further growth. To address this, they turned to the vendor Scaling Up and its system for disciplined execution.
By implementing Scaling Up's One-Page Strategic Plan, Rockefeller Habits meeting rhythm, and KPIs with clear accountability, the team achieved disciplined execution. With the support of a Scaling Up coach for eight years, Ambrose reached $20 million in EBITDA. The company was subsequently acquired for $200 million in cash, with the founders crediting half of that valuation directly to the Scaling Up system.
