About me
I'm Iyas, author of the Build on Purpose newsletter and founder of Beyond the Quarter. I've led companies from 2 man startup to a team of around 500; from plateaus to rapid growth; from implosion to turnaround; through acquiring and being acquired; through IPO and a high 8-figure trade-sale.

Today, with Beyond the Quarter, I use what I've learned to support entrepreneurs and leaders build remarkable companies. Companies that lead with purpose and values, are profitable, create a positive impact and are fun to work in.
