Reviews

“The $100M Push is a goldmine for CEOs and founders. If every CEO read this before they took on their first major capital investment, they’d be immediately in their investor’s favor post-close. Private equity and investor expectations can sometimes feel like a black box—Vanessa has demystified the core components of what drives success in B2B software companies, particularly at these critical inflection points of growth. Vanessa doesn’t just share what but how; the frameworks, agendas, and exercises outlined in The $100M Push. Take the guesswork out of how to get there. I can’t wait to share this with our portfolio company leaders!”

The $100M Push: A CEO’s Guide to Scaling Under Private Equity

Pre-Order

The $100M Push introduces the Push Order of Operations™ – a simple framework that breaks growth strategy into four alignment decisions you can execute against and measure.

What’s Inside:

CEOs learn how to:

  • Translate the investor return model into a practical commercial execution plan
  • Align the leadership team around investor-defined value levers
  • Turn strategy into four clear decisions instead of a scattered list of initiatives
  • Spot execution breakdowns before they show up in bookings
  • Connect daily KPIs to enterprise value, not just revenue
  • Build an Exit Dashboard that anchors the board conversation in outcomes
  • Lead through stalled quarters without losing investor confidence

Presented in a 100-Day format, the book gives CEOs a step-by-step structure to guide their teams from $10M to $100M with clarity, sequencing, and measurable progress.
