Mr. Leonetti is the founder and CEO of Pinnacle Equity Solutions, Inc., an exit strategies firm specializing in exit strategy design and execution services to advisors and their privately held business owners. John is a nationally recognized leader in the Exit Planning field and has been interviewed on ABC News Now, NECN, and numerous national
radio programs, including being quoted in the Wall Street Journal on a number of occasions. In addition, John is the author of the highly publicized book “Exiting Your Business, Protecting Your Wealth: A Strategic Guide for Owners and their Advisors.” John’s book has been the hot topic for many national industry and business owner publications.
For eighteen years, John has served as a principal, a manager, a transactional advisor, a legal advisor and a financial advisor to privately held businesses, their owners, and their advisors. Over this time period he has noticed a lack of consistency in how Exit Strategy services are delivered to the entrepreneur. This inconsistency exists, even though succeeding a business is one of the most important and complex financial and emotional decisions that will be made in that business owner’s lifetime. Proper planning and well timed exits can literally mean millions of dollars in additional Value and Wealth Preservation that is added to a business owner’s net worth and legacy.
John brings to the Exit Strategies practice an extensive education to go with his hands-on work experience. He earned his Law Degree from Suffolk University and is a non-practicing attorney in good standing with the State of Massachusetts. Along with the Law Degree, John also completed a Masters Degree in Finance at Suffolk’s Sawyer School of Management and holds a BS in Finance from Providence College.
