A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

Lonnie L. Sciambi

LONNIE “The Entrepreneur’s Yoda,” is Managing Director and CEO of Small Business Force, LLC (www.thesmallbusinessforce.com) and author of the best-selling book, “Secrets to Entrepreneurial Success.” For entrepreneurs and small business owners, he brings a unique viewpoint to help them avoid many of the pitfalls that they, invariably, face, through mentoring, providing assistance with strategic alternatives for growth or under-performing operations, strategic exit guidance or just a valuable blog post. As an entrepreneur, he founded, grew and sold two of his own companies (although he did start several others – so he understands both success...and failure), advised more than a hundred companies at various stages of their growth and invested in more than a dozen (some successfully, some not so). Lonnie’s experience also includes fixing "broken" companies, having completed a series of successful turnarounds for eight small companies (all under $25 million) in disparate markets. He also been involved in raising more than $350 million in capital, as an investment banker and senior executive, and had primary responsibility for nearly forty merger and acquisition transactions, more than a dozen of those, entrepreneurial exits. Lonnie also has some large company experience, earlier in his career, that includes senior management positions with EDS and Citicorp. He is a frequent speaker on all areas of entrepreneurship, from start-up through exit. He began in business with IBM and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University.
