Steve Preda distilled the experiences of his 20-year journey as a business owner, investment banker, and business coach into a holistic program that helps you figure out what you really want, and how you can get there with the help of your business.
The tricks, tips and mindsets of creating a buyable business are illustrated by over 100 real life stories from Steve’s career.
These books reflect Steve’s experience as a business owner, investment banker, and business coach, and form the foundation of the thinking behind the Summit OS framework and Strategy OS framework.
On SummitOS.co, these ideas are extended into structured toolkits and guide-led engagements for leadership teams.

These books are designed to help leaders think more clearly, align their teams, and make better decisions before moving into tools, systems, or coaching engagements.
