The CEO Multiplier: Firm’s Clients Achieve Nearly 3X Profit Growth

MIAMI, FL – April 06, 2026 – In an economic climate where average growth can be considered a win, some companies are rewriting the rules of performance. New 2025 impact data released by CEO Coaching International, a leading global executive coaching firm, reveals its clients are not just keeping pace but are drastically outpacing national benchmarks, achieving revenue and profit growth at rates that are multiples of the U.S. average.

According to the report, companies that have engaged with the firm for two years or more have recorded an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue of 22.8%. This figure is nearly double the 12.77% average U.S. revenue CAGR reported by the NYU Stern School of Business for the same period. The profit story is even more striking. The firm's clients saw an average EBITDA CAGR of 37.5%, a figure that is nearly three times the national average for net income growth, which stands at 12.83%.

These metrics underscore a significant performance gap between coached leadership teams and the broader market. With a portfolio of over 2,000 clients across 90 countries, representing a collective $86 billion in revenue, the results suggest a scalable and industry-agnostic formula for success.

The Anatomy of Exponential Growth

The impressive figures are not a matter of chance, but the result of a disciplined and repeatable methodology. CEO Coaching International’s approach, branded the “Make BIG Happen System,” is built on a foundation of strategic planning, relentless execution, and stringent accountability. The firm’s coaches, all of whom are former CEOs, presidents, or founders with experience leading companies from startups to multi-billion-dollar enterprises, bring firsthand knowledge to the table.

"These numbers aren't just statistics; they are a testament to what happens when you combine world-class leadership with a proven system of accountability," said Mark Moses, Founding Partner and Executive Chairman of CEO Coaching International. He emphasized that sustained growth is a key differentiator. "Growth naturally becomes more difficult as revenue scales, but our data shows that clients consistently outpace market averages when they partner with us for four, five, six years, and beyond. While the average company is content to keep pace, our clients focus on widening the gap."

This system involves a regular rhythm of annual planning and quarterly execution meetings, guided by diagnostic tools that assess a company's health across areas like strategy, team performance, and financial discipline. By focusing on long-term engagements of two years or more, the coaching process moves beyond short-term fixes to embed a culture of high performance and strategic clarity within the client’s leadership team.

A Competitive Edge in a Crowded Market

The executive coaching industry has become a significant force in corporate development, with a global market size that reached $15.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to continue its ascent. In this competitive landscape, which includes major players like Vistage and digital platforms such as BetterUp, CEO Coaching International differentiates itself with its emphasis on quantifiable financial outcomes and a roster of coaches with proven C-suite track records.

While the industry broadly touts a high return on investment—some studies suggest returns between 500% and 788% through gains in productivity and retention—CEO Coaching International’s direct correlation of its methodology to top- and bottom-line growth provides a compelling case for its effectiveness. The firm’s focus on coaching growth-focused CEOs, rather than providing broader, organization-wide training, hones its impact on the strategic decisions that most directly influence a company's financial trajectory.

The Private Equity Playbook for Value Creation

One of the most telling indicators of the firm’s impact is its deep integration with the private equity sector. Having worked with over 100 PE-owned companies, CEO Coaching International has become a strategic partner for investors looking to maximize the value of their portfolio companies. In the high-pressure world of private equity, where aggressive growth targets and tight timelines are the norm, executive coaching is increasingly seen as a critical tool for unlocking value and ensuring a successful exit.

"These consistent results validate a methodology that works regardless of sector or location," stated Randy Dewey, CEO of CEO Coaching International. "It is the primary reason we have become the go-to partner for private equity firms looking to coach their portfolio companies. Having worked with over 100 PE-owned firms, we know exactly how to turn methodology into market-leading growth."

Coaches work with portfolio company CEOs to translate investor expectations into actionable operational plans, implement key performance indicators (KPIs), and build leadership resilience. This “Triangular Accountability Model” ensures alignment between the PE firm’s strategic goals, the leadership team’s execution, and the coach’s role in driving accountability, ultimately de-risking the investment and accelerating growth.

Navigating the Next Frontier: The AI Revolution

Building on its track record of driving current performance, the firm is also positioning its clients to win the future. This forward-looking approach will be the centerpiece of its upcoming Make BIG Happen Summit, an annual, invite-only event for high-growth CEOs to be held in Miami Beach from April 22–24.

This year’s summit is focused on providing leaders with practical strategies for navigating the AI revolution. Moving beyond theoretical hype, the event aims to equip CEOs with ROI-driven tools and frameworks. The agenda features world-renowned AI visionaries Peter Diamandis, founder of the XPRIZE Foundation, and Salim Ismail, author and expert on “Exponential Organizations.” Diamandis is a leading voice on how exponential technologies can solve global challenges, while Ismail specializes in how businesses can leverage technology for massive, non-linear growth.

The summit, which has previously hosted speakers like President George W. Bush and “Good to Great” author Jim Collins, is designed to be an immersive learning experience. Attendees will leave Miami with a personalized AI implementation roadmap and the frameworks required to lead their companies into the next decade of digital transformation.
