Samuel Ford
Lexington,KY
Summary
I have built a company from the ground up, scaled that company to $1M+ revenue, successfully sold the company for a healthy profit, and never looked back. I'm a results-focused executive who transforms billing chaos into financial clarity. Over two decades, I’ve led teams, collected millions in AR, negotiated directly with C-level decision-makers, and turned struggling operations into profitable machines. My blueprint is simple: identify waste, fix broken processes, and create systems that generate consistent revenue—and I do it with precision.
