Kirk Dando’s Bio

kirk-dandoOne of Kirk’s long-time clients says…

“Kirk has got this gift and uncanny ability to see into the heart of any organization.”

Of course he has extensive experience as a C-level executive to back up this gift of his. (He helped build one company into a billion-dollar-a-year business!) And Kirk gives you everything he’s got. He has the integrity to tell you the truth about what he sees and the compassion to tell you in a way that you can hear. Moreover, Kirk cares personally about your success and his long-term relationship with you. You’ll know this is all true when you meet him.

Since founding Dando Advisors in 1995, Kirk has built a national reputation for helping business owners, entrepreneurs and their teams recognize and overcome the obstacles that arise from a company’s success and rapid growth. A leading expert on business evolution, Kirk has developed a number of practical processes that help him analyze and solve the challenges of maturing a business. He helped pioneered the development of  The Business Life Cycle™; a model for determining at what performance level a business is operating. He routinely helps his clients move from an entrepreneurial environment to a mature, financially stable, professionally managed and led business. He makes recommendations for change, but unlike some advisors, he stays involved until the goals are reached, including the crafting of an exit strategy that ultimately leads to a profitable sale of the business.

Dando is a graduate of the CSU College of Business and a former defensive cornerback for the Rams.
