Rob Killgore

I retired in 2016 as the COO for a $3.6 billion company after a successful 30-year career.  It didn't take me long to realize I missed helping other people succeed, and decided to put my knowledge, skills, and experience to work as a Business Coach & Consultant.  

Having helped Sleep Train grow from $1 million to $500 million in revenue, being acquired by Mattress Firm, then helping that business grow from a little over $2 billion to $3.6 billion in less than two years, I gained a lifetime of experience that I wanted to share to help others be more successful.

I have experience working in privately held, employee owned (ESOP), as well as publicly traded companies from as small as 7 employees in one market, to as large as 10,000+ employees across 48 states.  I have been part of a dozen acquisition ranging from $100k to as large as $750 million, as well as three sales transactions up to $3.8 billion.  

As a Coach & Consultant I have worked with clients across a wide variety of industries and stages of business development to help them overcome their challenges. 

What makes me different to work with is my broad experience as a COO responsible for big-picture Strategy, Tactics, Financial Forecasts, Processes, and day-to-day Business Operations combined with my ability to work with clients as either a Coach, a Consultant, or both depending on what you want or need.  My goal is to get you where you want to go as fast as possible with the greatest return on your investment in my services.

Coaching is an efficient, high-impact process for high-performing people that produces improved results sustainable over a long period of time.  We work together to help you gain clarity on what you want to achieve, reverse engineer it into goals, and you put in the work to make it happen with accountability support from me.

As a Business Consultant, I specialize in business development and growth for entrepreneurs and business owners.  I provide advice and assistance for companies at any stage of the business with a primary focus on working with startups and younger companies.  You get Wall Street experience as a Main Street operator.
