Entrepreneurs seek me out because I don’t just teach business frameworks — I share the real-life wins, setbacks, and lessons that shaped my journey.
From building and selling an investment banking firm in Hungary to guiding CEOs in the US, every step has given me tools I now pass on to leaders.
This openness has allowed me to connect with entrepreneurs worldwide as a speaker, author, and coach. My mission is to help CEOs create execution momentum, scale their businesses with clarity, and secure long-term value—because I believe every entrepreneur deserves both success in business and fulfillment in life.
Meet Steve Preda
Steve Preda was born and raised in Hungary, where his early curiosity for business and leadership inspired him to build his first company—an investment banking firm that he later grew and successfully sold. Seeking new challenges, he moved with his family to the United States, where he began coaching Vistage CEO peer groups and discovered his passion for guiding entrepreneurs. His journey led him to become an EOS Implementer, a Pinnacle Business Guide, and eventually the creator of Summit OS® and Strategy OS®, two business operating systems that help leaders scale their companies with clarity, discipline, and vision.
Beyond his professional achievements, Steve is a devoted husband and father who lives near Richmond, Virginia. He loves playing tennis, listening to jazz, and traveling with his family. His life reflects the same values he teaches—resilience, curiosity, and a commitment to continuous growth—qualities that continue to shape his mission of helping entrepreneurs build not just thriving businesses, but fulfilling lives.
