Michael Sipe
investment banker
Michael Sipe has been helping leaders navigate challenging seasons, solve difficult problems, simplify and gain clarity on complex issues and achieve big goals in the face of tough odds for over 30 years.
He's an ex-Army Ranger Captain, black belt martial artist, entrepreneur, mergers and acquisitions advisor, and Christian executive coach, who’s founded, bought and sold multiple companies for his own account.
In his profession as an investment banker, he’s evaluated over 5,000 businesses in about every industry conceivable; and provided advisory services for approximately half a billion dollars in business sales involving hundreds of companies.
Since 2013, he’s also facilitated Christian CEO roundtable forums called 10x Catalyst Groups® in which members meet monthly in small peer groups to focus on spiritual growth as leaders, business excellence and marketplace ministry using the platform of their businesses and leadership influence.
He serves as an executive coach to a select group of extremely successful business leaders, many in the top 1% of income earners in the United States.
A consistent theme in his life and in that of his clients is the quest for an abundant life of significance and meaning. He, and they, desire not only a full, properly ordered and well-balanced life, but more importantly, an integrated life that glorifies God; while leading with excellence in the marketplace as men and women of faith called to run exceptional businesses. His #1 Bestselling book The AVADA Principle is the fruit of that quest.
10x Catalyst Group® Certified Facilitator opportunities are available across the nation for men and women who wish to lead Christian peer groups from a proven platform as part of a network of other Christian coaches.
CONTRIBUTIONS TO FAITH DRIVEN ENTREPRENEUR
“Just because I’m big of heart, doesn’t mean I am slow of mind or weak of hand.” That’s the somewhat offhand comment Patricia Asp made to me in a recent 10 Talent LeaderTalk Podcast interview (ForbesBooksRadio.com/10x) when I asked her about how she reconciled her Christian faith with the demands of senior leadership.
