Profit Drivers

What Profit Drivers does

Profit Drivers is a practitioner-led consulting firm founded in 2023 and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, that provides pricing strategy, margin optimization, and commercial transformation services to enterprise clients. The firm is led by a senior team of former Fortune 500 executives, including CEO Scott Green (30+ years; $400M+ margin growth and $900M in price improvements delivered in 2021-2022), COO Kenny Stoll ($1B+ in cost savings), and Partner John Norkus ($1B+ in profit improvement), with an additional presence in the Netherlands via Strategic Advisor Michelle Lesh.

The company's offering is organized into three integrated service lines: Advisory Services (diagnostic assessments, maturity assessments, vendor selection, portfolio management, market intelligence, and new product pricing strategy), Technology Solutions (price optimization, pricing analytics, CPQ, gross-to-net analytics, promotion analytics, cost allocation, and transfer pricing), and a fractional Center of Excellence (CoE) for ongoing pricing governance, training, and performance management. The firm does not develop proprietary pricing software; rather, it helps clients implement and operate third-party pricing technologies, with the CoE serving as the continuous-execution layer.

Profit Drivers operates a sales-led, direct-to-client model targeting Fortune 500 and large global organizations across five verticals: Oil & Gas, Technology, Industrial Manufacturing, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), and Materials. Distribution is direct, with no intermediary channels; demand generation relies on content marketing via a corporate blog, a podcast series, and practitioner LinkedIn presence. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, with no public rates. The firm is privately held, founder-owned, and has no disclosed external funding, parent company, or subsidiaries.
