About Summit 9
Jim Lyon drives business success.
Jim spent 20 years climbing the corporate ladder at four Fortune 500 corporations. His positions in finance, marketing, sales, strategic planning, general management, and IT have one common theme – applying proven principles to disrupt the status quo and deliver better results. He applied his methods quite successfully at two startup companies and since 2006 he has been guiding small business owners with the same approach – teach core principles, help apply the knowledge, and challenge people to execute. Jim has guided over 100 businesses and their success is the best measure of his performance. His clients earn record profits, win awards, create jobs, become effective managers and leaders, turn around struggling companies, retire wealthy and successfully, and find happiness in their decision to own a business. Jim has an MBA from the University of Chicago, an economics degree from Grinnell College and years of formal and informal training from exceptional teachers and leaders.
