Our Story

Pivot > originated from a conversation between friends, Lance Miller and Peter Elkin, both veterans of restructuring and turnaround industries, and former company leaders. Frustrated with the traditional advisory firm model, they sought a better approach centered on client interests and results. Over dinner, they envisioned a best-in-class value proposition, which eventually became Pivot >, attracting like-minded individuals who shared their mission and industry distinctions.

Our core principles include delivering bespoke solutions tailored to each situation, prioritizing long-term client relationships over fees, and fostering the growth and well-being of our employees. Unlike many firms in the industry, we operate under a shared compensation model, ensuring everyone is invested in our clients’ success. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to providing exceptional service and building lasting relationships with our clients.
