The name Rock Pine Partners embodies the growth and strength of a lone pine tree on a mountainside, reflecting our mission to help clients thrive beyond the limits of today.

Greg Valyou is the heart and soul of Rock Pine Partners; we don’t pretend to be a 1000-person firm.

When you hire Rock Pine Partners, you get Greg - supported by a team of really smart people!

Clients want that direct access to Greg and are willing to pay for that exclusivity.

They know they are working with a proven and accomplished leader and strategy expert who will achieve the results they need. Greg's driving purpose and passion are to inspire growth and greatness in others!

Greg Valyou combines strategic insight with real-world execution to help leaders and organizations grow, scale, and realize their full economic potential.

The four things Greg can do better than anyone else:

1. Listen - Seems simple — many of Greg's competitors lead with a solution that benefits them not you or your customers.

2. Innovate - Create and execute winning strategies that enhance customer experience, fix and drive revenue and profit growth, and improve overall operating and people performance.

3. Enterprise transformation - extensive experience harnessing the power of SAP, Workday, Oracle (Peoplesoft and Netsuite), Epicor, Microsoft, Salesforce solutions, and AI solutions.

4. New Perspective - Coach, thought leader, speaker, and author with deep insights into leadership, business strategy, value innovation, AI, and enterprise solutions.

Every client’s journey is unique, we design and deliver tailored programs aligned to their specific goals, challenges, and opportunities—ensuring measurable impact and lasting results.

Advisory & Consulting

• We think and do - Strategic foresight, insights, and execution. Greg is an expert at helping clients navigate the complexities of running a business, driving reinvention, and fueling sustainable growth — all while creating lasting value. He is most interested in working with leaders, organizations, and projects that create big and impactful changes. He likes pushing the envelope!

Coaching

• We help you do - Designed to empower individuals and teams to unlock their potential by facilitating self-discovery and growth. Greg, through powerful questioning and strategic frameworks, helps clients build self-awareness, sharpen capabilities, and create actionable paths to achieve their goals.

Fractional C-level support

• We lead by example - Executive leadership on a dedicated and committed basis, providing consistency, focus, as an integrated team member and leader. Greg takes on only 1-2 clients in this capacity at one time.

Advisory brings experienced perspective and informed answers to help leaders make smart decisions. Advisors serve as strategic thought partners — offering objective insights without being involved in day-to-day execution.

Consulting delivers targeted expertise, hands-on support to solve a specific business challenge or need. Consultants analyze, recommend, and often help execute strategies directly alongside the client.

Coaching unlocks a leader’s full potential by fostering personal and professional growth. Coaches ask powerful questions, challenge assumptions, and help individuals build clarity, confidence, and new strengths.

No matter the engagement—advisory, consulting, or coaching—our foundation is the same: genuine curiosity, active listening, and a deep respect for each client’s vision of success.

As you can imagine, Greg has a pretty full schedule and can’t always work with everyone. When his schedule or client roster is at capacity and the need is immediate referrals are made to some great colleagues from across the globe. Greg prefers to work with a handful of clients on a long term basis and not provide short-term, one-and-done.

Greg has also developed a series of personalized workshops that provide small to medium-sized businesses access to world-class services typically available only to the world’s largest organizations.

While many of his clients and work can’t be disclosed, there are many public testimonials, references, and details to validate his impact. Several can be found within this website or on client websites. Some of his references and clients are industry titans that frequently appear as experts on global news programs.

Lori spent years as a top consultant and manager with big consulting firms like Accenture. She manages the business, operations, legal, and tax and collaborates with Greg on specific engagements.

Fast Fact: Early in their careers, Greg and Lori found themselves working for the same global client — each at different firms, in different roles, and even in different geographic locations. Despite the competition on paper, both earned reputations as standout leaders driving meaningful change for the client and their teams. The real win? Whenever their paths crossed on-site, they always managed to carve out time to share a quick lunch or coffee together. Today that same history of success and partnership translates into better solutions for Rock Pine Partners clients.

Whether you’re tackling a leadership challenge, driving innovation, deploying a new enterprise platform, scaling for growth, or positioning for a multi-million-dollar exit, Greg encourages every client to focus on the true value of the outcome.

At the outset of each engagement, he asks a simple yet impactful question:

“What will success be worth to you?”

Because at the end of the day, results matter.

That’s why most services are offered at fixed, value-based pricing — not by the hour. Clients invest in outcomes, not time spent.

Greg does. It takes work to write, and it is something Greg has a passion for, and it shows. Articles are often well-researched papers that provide depth and knowledge.

Greg uses no ghostwriters, although he actually ghostwrites for a few client companies.

Greg draws on his innumerable professional experiences and looks back at some of his clients and what they struggle with, what they should do, consider, or just what is interesting.

For example, Greg released an AI book in 2019 designed to help business leaders understand start, get in front of, and capitalize on AI. That was four years before ChatGPT, Gemini, Google Studio, Perplexity, Co-Pilot, was on anyone’s radar.

Yes!

Greg is passionate about sharing his insights and knowledge, especially around disruptive strategies and solutions.

Before Generative AI became mainstream, Greg delivered presentations on AI's business, ethics, and marketplace impacts at events, conferences, user groups, and meetups, across the United States.

Some of his favorite appearances as a keynote speaker or featured presenter have been at events sponsored by the Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association (AFCEA), IBM, BoxBoat, Sage Solutions Consulting, Meridian Partners, and ASUG (SAP), among others.
