For the last 30 years, Leary Gates has been advising business leaders on how to think beyond their present line-of-sight to uncover new growth opportunities for their firms. He has worked with Fortune 1000 firms and start-ups in technology, manufacturing, and professional services.

He is the Co-founder of Coefficient Companies and the Managing Partner for Coefficient Advisors where he helps philanthropically-minded business owners find the best path to increase their business valuations so they can give more to their world when they exit their firms.

Leary and his wife Anna, of 35 years, enjoy spending time together with their four adult children. They also enjoy taking a spin the dance floor to show off their waltzing moves. During the warmer months of Minnesota, you’ll find Leary adventuring down new roads on his beloved road bike, taking time to get away and experience margin in his life.

“I finally feel like I’m working on my business, not just in it.”

“Leary has an ability to see the whole picture; to dissect and drill down into areas of my business and personal life that need change in direction. I finally feel like I’m working on my business, not just in it.” – Mark Wheatley, CSI Onsite

Leary took time to understand my restlessness and frustrations as a CEO. He’s one of the few that I’ve worked with that can take on a business challenge and also consider personal goals and wiring as part of the process.
