What Empactful Advisors does

Empactful Advisors is a privately held, bootstrapped boutique advisory firm specializing in strategy execution and organizational transformation. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, the firm partners with C-suite and senior executive leadership — typically CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and board members — to close performance gaps and deliver measurable business outcomes. Its portfolio spans six verticalized practices (Healthcare, Energy and Utilities, Manufacturing, Technology, Mining and Minerals, Life Sciences) anchored by three core service lines: Accelerating Results, Execution Readiness, and Culture Transformation. Documented engagements include a $486M revenue swing for a Top-Five U.S. Iron-Ore Producer, a $50M EBITDA addition for a Global LNG Producer via IT transformation, and a $12M margin turnaround for a multi-hospital health system, each delivered inside a 90-day window.

The firm's core delivery framework is the 90-day Sprint-Based Execution Model, a methodology that mobilizes cross-functional teams against targeted opportunities with clear accountability and transparent measurement, supported by an Agile Catalyst Network of trained change agents who coach teams live across geographies. Rather than a software or platform product, the offering is a human-centered advisory service in which Empactful's advisors embed alongside client teams. Revenue mechanics are professional services-based with an outcome-at-risk component: the firm puts up to 50% of revenue at risk to tie compensation to measurable client outcomes, and multi-year bespoke contracts are priced on engagement scope, complexity, and expected results.

Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales, supported by a thought-leadership engine consisting of a blog, the 'Empactful Edit' newsletter, detailed outcome-based case studies, and a dedicated discovery-call landing page. The firm is founder-owned and led by Managing Partner and Co-Founder Jimmy Leppert, Co-Founder Justin Wasserman, and Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board Douglas Williams, supported by a bench of Executive Advisors that includes former senior operators from Chevron, the Wharton School, and Medtronic. There are no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, or technology integrations, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Strategy Execution Consulting: Professional advisory services delivered through embedded consulting engagements. The firm partners with executives to shape strategy and lead through execution, delivering measurable results. Engagements focus on closing gaps-to-goal at speeds clients didn't think possible.
2. Outcome-Based Advisory Engagements: The firm demonstrates confidence in their approach by putting as much as 50% of their revenue at risk, tying compensation to measurable client outcomes rather than just activity-based billing.
