After spending 25 years as a Microsoft Dynamics Channel Partner, Linda Rose decided to sell it all and retire. Well….almost. Rose has created, bought and sold four companies during her business career. Her sale of her Microsoft Dynamics Cloud hosting company to a Private Equity firm for 100% cash allowed her to turn in the keys to her office and walk out the door 45 days later and begin a 500-mile backpacking trek on the Pacific Crest Trail.

 She has been responsible for leading companies from zero to a 98% recurring revenue model to increase value by 10X, for growing SaaS revenue more than 40% YOY while maintaining a 97.5% customer retention rate, for helping more than 300 companies move from on premise IT platforms to cloud services, and for creating the first “Click, Try, Buy” SMB ERP solution for Microsoft users. Her book “Get Acquired for Millions: A Roadmap for Technology Service Providers to Maximize Company Value” and her Value Maximizer™ Assessment which helps channel partners increase their current market value has hit #1 in multiple categories on Amazon.

 When Rose is not out exploring trails in the wilderness, kayaking on the open waters, or tending to her gardens, she speaks to and advises owners on how best to plan and build company value, so that one day they too can be acquired for millions.
