About Merry McFadden
Founder, CEO
My name is Merry McFadden, and I started Pivotal Strategy Group because I was working with entrepreneurs who were amazing at what they did, but needed support in certain aspects of their business. I have demonstrated success while working with the finance, operations, marketing, and sales components of various businesses. I love what I do, and am so proud of the success of my clients!
Testimonials
CAM Physical Therapy and Wellness Services, LLC
Merry focuses on operational deficiencies and implementation of approaches to improve the direction this company is headed. She works on a countless number of projects to include practice growth and expansion, hiring talent, staff and management training, employee and patient engagement, conference strategies, marketing, public relations, budgeting and overall business operations.
“Over the years I have been inspired by other business coaches and have also been overwhelmed or exhausted by all their wonderful suggestions… Sometimes, there is just not enough time for a small business owner to research and implement new processes.
Merry’s approach is completely different! Merry becomes your trustworthy business partner. After identifying areas of improvement, Merry partners with her business owners in the research, analyzation and implementation of new systems and processes. This support system is phenomenal, encouraging, motivating and exciting. If you are a small business owner you need a support system and there is no better COO than Merry.”
-Marion Miller, CEO/Founder of Marion Miller & Associates Insurance
“Merry has been instrumental to the successes I have achieved in my business. She takes the time to understand your unique situation and evaluate your strengths and weaknesses, to provide valuable meaningful feedback. She doesn’t just help you set goals, she helps you achieve them.
I also have had the opportunity to witness Merry’s impact on several mutual clients where I have seen the beneficial results in their businesses as well! The depth and breadth of experience she brings to the table would benefit any business owner! Truly an investment that will yield results!”
-Lisa Hershey, CEO, Hershey Accounting & Tax Partners
When I first met Merry of Pivotal Strategy Group, my business was on the verge of closing its doors. Merry came in and helped identify the immediate issues and helped implement the changes required to save my business. In the 2+ years we have been working with Merry, Novalera has gone from a failing startup to a successful six figure smart business able to hire employees. We are looking forward to rapid growth in the coming years. I could have not have done it without Merry.
Initially I was reluctant to hire a business coach. My partner and I are so happy that we chose to move forward in this process. Working with Pivotal Strategy Group has significantly impacted our business. Merry does not just advise us, but is invested in our success. She takes the time to learn our business, work with our staff and jumps in to become part of the solution. We are so glad that we decided to work with Pivotal Strategy Group, and are excited about our future success!
