Meet our leadership

Jacob specializes in working with legacy business owners in manufacturing, industrial, and construction who want a better way to transition.
Jacob began his career in finance and economics before pivoting to business, where he focused on mastering sales. He gained hands-on experience 
in car sales and later in Alberta, working on job sites 
and managing teams and operations.
This background gives him a practical understanding of business ownership, a strong respect for those who build and run companies, and a clear focus on what truly drives results.
He brings both empathy and a results-oriented mindset to high-stakes decisions.

At Strive, our approach is simple

Protect what’s working, strengthen the business, and help owners step back at a pace that honours their people, reputation, and legacy.

What we care about

1

Hard Work & Respect

We purchase a majority stake in your business, strengthen and grow what you’ve built, and help you transition on your terms. You get to cash in on the value you’ve built and define your next chapter.

Down-To-Earth Solutions
