Paul Daigle, CEO & Senior Managing Partner, BizAdvisoryBoard
Paul Daigle is the Senior Partner of BizAdvisoryBoard and a seasoned executive specializing in guiding businesses through critical phases, including turnarounds, growth initiatives, launches, operational stand-ups, capital acquisition, and exit strategies. With a rich background as a coach, director, advisor, and CEO of technology businesses—including MSPs—he offers unparalleled business and leadership expertise. Daigle’s extensive experience includes serving on 23 private and public boards, acting as chairman for seven of them, and formally holding the position of board chair for a prominent private equity firm and holding company based in New York. Daigle and his team are the authors and creators of The Business Evaluator and Accelerator, a powerful tool specifically designed for MSPs. This tool allows MSPs to input four key parameters about their business, which are then analyzed to determine the business’s value. The Evaluator identifies an MSP’s peer group within the MSP Business Maturity Model, calculates EBITDA, and highlights how close the business is to accessing the benefits of the next peer group. These benefits often include increased business worth, revenue per employee, reduced costs, and dramatic profit growth, frequently following a hockey-stick trajectory. The Accelerator Component of the Business Evaluator provides coaching across more than 70 data points specific to each peer group. It addresses critical areas such as overcoming challenges, optimizing service packages, and enhancing marketing strategies. MSPs gain access to a self-guided or facilitator-customized roadmap and blueprint. These resources empower businesses to develop strategies based on best-in-class MSPs, enabling them to accelerate growth effectively. More than 3,000 organizations have leveraged this tool, including MSPs, capital providers and private equity firms.
