I'm Bryan K. O'Rourke — entrepreneur, CEO, investor, strategic advisor, and keynote speaker. I've spent my career building and scaling businesses across many industries including fitness, technology, franchising, food and beverage, and the professional and financial services sectors. I bring that experience directly to the companies and leaders I work with today.
I've led global turnarounds for organizations including a global fitness equipment and technology company with 1,700 employees. I've been a part of several start-ups and co-founded and sold many businesses. I've closed more than 35 strategic transactions. I've delivered over 100 keynotes on four continents. And I've been named Best Digital Transformation Leader in the Fitness Industry for 2025.
But here's what actually matters to you: I don't advise from the sidelines. I've sat in the CEO chair, managed the P&L, restructured the supply chain, negotiated the deal, and signed on the dotted line. From small start-ups to large multi-national organizations, my range of experiences is broad. When I work with your business, I bring the perspective of someone who's been in the trenches and had real skin in the game.
How I help:
Through Vedere Ventures, I advise companies on strategy, finance, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and operations — with particular depth in fitness, wellness, technology, and franchise businesses.
Through Moon Mission Media, my team and I help businesses build digital marketing strategies that drive real, measurable growth — from brand positioning to lead generation to conversion.
As a keynote speaker, I bring operational war stories and forward-looking insights to stages around the world — not slides full of theory, but lessons learned from actually running the businesses I talk about.
Whether you're preparing for a transaction, scaling a brand, navigating a turnaround, or looking for a speaker who's lived what he teaches — I'd welcome the conversation.
